No. It simply hangs.

One workaround for this problem is sending a lot of SIGCONTs to
firefox-bin using a little perl one-liner. As far as I know futex()
calls get interrupted when signals arrive.

If I remember correctly I had some similar problems on a FreeBSD head
installation. Don't rely on this.
