Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Well sometimes it does start, (after 2 - 3 minutes!) And I get the choise to restore previos session or start new session. I Click one, and after 2-3 more minutes, I get the firefox window. When it is started, it partly workes (though very slow) for some seconds or even minutes until total freeze.

If I write anything in the adressbar (usually I ony get to type one letter) the system freeze momentarily and when minimaizing and restoring, the window is all black.

Using kubuntu 8.06 (kde4) beta
Lnux 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

- This is what I get when I write "firefox-3.0" in the konsole:
- First 3 minutes:
sindre@blackout ~> /usr/bin/firefox-3.0

- Next 3 minutes:
sindre@blackout ~> /usr/bin/firefox-3.0

- Then...
sindre@blackout ~> /usr/bin/firefox-3.0

The last time I tried to open firefox-3, I got an Add-ons window (see screenshot) I tried to disable the add-on, but it didn't help.

Well yes. I think maybee it was the ubufox extension. Anyway, the bug
is now out of date, and everything works fine.
