[Bug 960456] New: Firefox freezes on AccuWeather extended forecast webpage
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=960456 Bug ID: 960456 Summary: Firefox freezes on AccuWeather extended forecast webpage Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: x86 OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox Assignee: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: tandrewjohnson@outlook.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Recently I've had problems with Firefox freezing (requiring me to forcibly terminate it), and pinpointed it to the AccuWeather extended forecast webpage. Firefox works fine with every other webpage I've browsed, including on AccuWeather.com. The extended forecast page loads fine in Firefox on Fedora 23, Windows 7, and Windows 8.1, but not in openSUSE 13.2. I've tried everything I could think of to find the cause of this problem. I restarted Firefox in safe mode, but the problem still exists. I reinstalled openSUSE completely, after which the problem was fixed until I installed the ~400 updates recommended by the software applet. This caused the problem to return, so I temporarily solved it by installing the ESR version of Firefox which works. I checked the Web Console and didn't see any unusual error messages. When the Developer Tools pane is open though, the problem seemed to disappear. However, when I scrolled down, then Firefox froze, so it seems like the source of the problem is an element that's about halfway down the page. I think this might be a duplicate of bug 942817, which sounds very similar. I asked about this problem on the openSUSE forum: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/512291-Firefox-freezes-on-AccuWea... and was told that the problem might be related to the Intel graphics drivers in the kernel. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

When I deleted the inline styles for them that control the animation, I was able to scroll down the page without Firefox freezing. It seems like the problem is that Firefox freezes whenever a page has a CSS animation that runs infinitely. The odd thing is that I cannot reproduce this bug on any other PC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Unfortunately I can't reproduce this problem with openSUSE Leap 42.3 and Tumbleweed. As 13.2 is now at end of life, this bug report will be closed. If you can still reproduce this issue with a current openSUSE version, please reopen the bug or file a new one. Thank you! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
