Ok then my guess is that you are hitting the breakpoint and FF engine
is passing control to Firebug (firebug-service). There control flow is
routed to a deadend because of a bug. The engine is waiting for you to
debug or resume, but you have no UI to do so.
When you run under setTimeout, the stack has a different origin and
the routing algorithm takes a different path.
Some suggestions:
Try 1.3a4, getfirebug.com/releases. It has a different routing
algorithm.
Try 1.2X running Firefox.exe from the command line and FBTrace panel
FBS_FINDDEBUGGER set true (traces the routing)
Try 1.3Xa4 for double your fun.
John.
