Title:
Opening new tab from shell command line freezes X
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
With firefox already running, open a new tab using command line, e.g.:
/usr/bin/firefox http://google.com/
Firefox opens a new blank tab and tab top shows "Connecting..." but
busy indicator isn't moving. After few seconds, screen gives a single
flash. At this point X seems to be locked up (e.g. nothing happening
on screen, caps-lock doesn't change keyboard indicator, no mouse
movement), sometimes for only 20-30 seconds before coming back to
normal, sometimes seemingly forever (e.g. gave up waiting after 30
minutes and killed X). Similar happens on opening local file from
command line.
'top' shows /usr/bin/X taking 100% CPU.
'strace' of the process shows nothing (i.e. no system calls being
made).
Chromium-browser doesn't exhibit this behaviour.
