Title:
Firefox hangs/slows/does-not-respond upon downloading a file
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I am using Ubuntu Disco Dingo 19.04 and the current version of Firefox
as of 2/7/2019 (version 65.0).
OS Version: Disco Dingo 19.04
Firefox Version: 65.0
Expected: I can download a file and click save in a reasonable amount of time.
Actual: Downloading a file causes Firefox to crash or freeze or take many
many minutes! 😨
Write-up:
When downloading files of any size, the dialogue that asks weather to save or
open a file appears. This window, as well as any other Firefox window becomes
unresponsive. Occasionally I can wait minutes and it will respond again;
sometimes the application will crash however. I believe crashes and longer
waits occur with larger downloads. Using Firefox Nightly builds has resolved
my issue, but this is a temporary fix for me. I believe it is this

you for the free software; even if there are rough patches occasionally!
Cheers from Wisconsin.
