This is indeed a strange interaction. The problem seems to be (i) (for some
reason) Firefox asks for the current clipboard contents when any of the
bookmarks are clicked on, (ii) gnuplot puts an image of the current plot in
the PRIMARY selection, and (iii) a previous fix to clipboard integration code
[1] has the unforeseen negative side-effect that when the monitored selection
cannot be converted to text, the clipboard integration code sits there waiting
for up to a second, which blocks the Windows application which asked for the
clipboard contents (Firefox in this case)
Thanks for reporting this problem.
I've added a patch which tries to fix this behaviour by actually checking if
the selection can be converted to a text format before trying, and uploaded a
snapshot at [2]. Perhaps you could try that and see if it improves things for
you?

Thank you very much - this fixes the problem with gnuplot and FF for me.
I tested it under Windows 7 (due to a HD crash I have no longer access
to a Windows XP system).
By the way, similar symptoms as described in my original posting occur
also with the 64-bit versions of XWin and gnuplot.
