[Bug 257316] New: Firefox busy-waits
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=257316 Summary: Firefox busy-waits Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hpj@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Sometimes Firefox will start using 100% CPU. While this is going on, it responds normally to events. The busy-wait will not cease until the Firefox process is terminated. I took a sysprof, which I'll attach both as a sysprof-loadable XML file and a screenshot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

(Not *all* sites with flash... but I think there's some bug in the Flash 9 plugin that it will start sucking up CPU in certain situations, and not stop even after you close that window.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=257316 ------- Comment #4 from hpj@novell.com 2007-03-24 13:26 MST ------- Yeah, that sounds likely. I don't know how Flash interacts with the main loop, but I did have a site with Flash ads on it open in one of the tabs. It had been open for some time (~30 minutes) when the problem appeared. The trace does indicate that the majority of the time is spent in libflashplayer.so. I think a good way to start debugging this would be to find out where actually_dispatch_callback() and install_timeout() come from. If there's nothing obviously wrong there, I suppose we can just mark this up as another Flash bug and close it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Well, we're shipping Flash 9 in SP1 now. It might be better to work with Adobe to get this fixed if we can... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
