Bug Description
after upgrading to Hardy, with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041514 Firefox/3.0b5, Firefox hangs with 100% CPU usage if I try to drag a bookmark entry in the bookmark drop-down bookmarks list.
I click the Bookmarks menu, I click on a bookmark, then I drag it: Firefox freezes, CPU usage goes to 100%, X is unusable. The mouse pointer moves, but clicking or pressing keys does nothing. The system monitor on the Gnome panel keeps working. In two instances I switched to a console and killed Frefox from there, so I could keep working. In a third instance, switching to a console showed a corrupted screeen, and I was unable to kill Firefox even by blindly typing "killall firefox", not could I manage to kill X by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, so I had to hit the reset button.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" [WWW] http:// www.chiark. greenend. org.uk/ ~sgtatham/ bugs.html.
