I have the same problem on Firefox 8 too. It occurs only on one of my computers and only occasionally. Rebooting usually fixes the problem. The problem was more persistent on a live system, so it may happen because of low resources (I speaking of Intel Celeron E1400 @ 2.00GHz × 2 with 1GB RAM and GeForce 8600 GT/PCI/SSE2 or Intel 82945G/GZ).
The same bug is reported to occur in Firefox 8, 9 and 10 as well and on a different machine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879240 Title: Firefox hangs when trying to use any dropdown or right-click menu Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If I click on link with right mouse button If I click on address bar with right mouse button If I click on search bar with right mouse button If I click with whatever mouse button on an icon that should make the dropdown menu appear => Dropdown menu doesn't appear, Firefox window turns to gray for ~15 seconds Fresh and updated Ubuntu 11.10 Firefox 7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 The bug has been documented before on http://support.mozilla.com/questions/725502#answer-4710 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/879240/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
