Exremely slow drop-down menus

[Nicholas]

Binary package hint: firefox

Right-clicking anywhere in the page or accessing any drop-down menus causes Firefox to hang for about 15 seconds, after which the menu may or may not actually open. Otherwise the browser works fine.

Using 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 with all updates installed.
Using Firefox without any custom addons installed.

Suddenly, the problem is gone. I didn't even restart. All I did was remove a few applications like Empathy and Evolution. The problem was still there after I tried the suggestions I found somewhere such as messing with /etc/hosts and turning off some rendering feature.

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

Nicholas, thanks for the report. It's unlikely anyone can use this bug report to improve Firefox unless there are steps to reproduce the problem. Since you don't see the problem any more yourself, I'm marking this Incomplete.
