Clicking an SVG link freezes Firefox

[Victor Engmark]

How to reproduce:
1. Generate a DB overview and open it with the following example command*:
java -jar ~/schemaSpy.jar -dp /usr/share/java/postgresql.jar -hq -t pgsql -host localhost:5432 -db database -s public -u user -p password -o ~/db && x-www-browser file://"$HOME"/db/index.html
2. Use SVG rather than PNG for the diagrams:
wget https://github.com/l0b0/schemaspy2svg/blob/16cb919405c48b66397771e5af0d3f27136dbd1a/schemaspy2svg.sh
bash schemaspy2svg.sh ~/db
3. Go back to the browser window.
4. Left-click on the "Relationships" tab.
5. Left-click on any of the tables.

At this point, the browser freezes seemingly indefinitely (at least a few minutes).

Workaround: If I *middle-click* on the image a new tab opens up immediately without problems.

* I can't provide the DB for testing, it is unfortunately proprietary. But the command is based on the above, simply with the port, database, user and password exchanged.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
