When opening a new webpage firefox stops reacting for 10-15s.

[Åke]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When opening a new webpage firefox stops reacting for 10-15s. Then after a while it works normal until the next page is opend. It seems like Firefox is occupied doing something but I can figure out what. Version 3.0b5. I did not have thos problem with Firefox2. Ubuntu release 8.04.

I have the same problem.

In the bottom status bar it will say connecting to... and hang there for a long time. I have checked and there is nothing going out through the network interface. FF error panel lists nothing out of the ordinary.

I have installed konqueror and run the two concurrently acessing the same web sites and whenever firefox hangs I can continue to telnet that server, and konqueror can access the same site without any problems.

The problem would persist sometimes until I reboot, FF will refuse to open any sites for extended periods.

One interesting thing I have noticed is that FF can access a local webserver on our lan while it cannot access the www. It is not related to our internet connection since as I noted above I can Konquer (hah) the web while FF is having problems.

I have checked and there are no error messages in the config files or the bug report tool.

If you can point me in any area's where I can glean info to submit to you I will do so gladly.

TIA

It happened again, and I ran top.

It seems that FF goes into sleep between browsing input.

Whenever this hang occurs it seems that FF does not recover out of sleep mode.

I have installed flock browser (www.flock.com) via a tarball. It is mozilla based, and it does exactly the same thing as FF.

One thing I must note though is that FF does not freeze in my case, I can use it, but it does not connect to any web pages.

Googling extensively and scouring launchpad, the FF forums and the Ubuntu forums renders absolutely no hits for a problem like mine. Konqueror connects first-time every time.

I had similar problems with feisty, and then it spontaneously stopped. Only after I clean installed Hardy Heron did it return.

Some days it is worse, other days it barely happens. Sometimes I cannot connect to pages for almost an hour, while Konqueror connects without issues. Often I need to reboot my system to fix the problem.

I am using a laptop, and I had the same problem on a feisty PC running ff2, but with a Hardy install it does not seem to have problems so far.

Is there anything I can include (a config file, a command line output...) to help find the problem. I did try disable ipv6 but that did not do any good, so I disabled it.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Hello

Sorry for not contacting you in this question. The reason is I'm not used to the report tool and uncertain how to use it.

Everything works just fine now and have doned so for a while. I guess it took a few weeks and then the problem was gone.

Thanks for your respons.
Best regards Åke
