I've been having a hang bug that has been driving me nuts recently, and now
I've done a little more detective work on it.
Under WinME, Moz would take 35 seconds to load from scratch on a reboot,
and would outright HANG if other programs had been loaded before it.
(65305 suggests that there could be trouble if a directX program runs
before it. 63383 says it's bad when resources run low. Either could be
me, although system resources are aplenty here, with 256MB.)
When Moz runs, opening a new window takes that same 35 seconds, no matter
whether the window is opened wth Ctrl-N, Javascript, or right-click
options.
At one point, -ProfileManager wouldn't even run. Now, recently that's
changed, and it might be to moving to a recent build, I dunno.
So now ProfileManager runs. So I reboot, run -ProfileManager from scratch
and it permits me to create a new profile. Running with no changes, this
profile loads in about 6 seconds!
I figure I'll try running with this profile for a while to see if it keeps
the problem at bay. I import my bookmarks from my other profile, and
suddenly the problem resurfaces!
So I delete the bookmarks entirely. Boom, problem is solved.
Now, after running nothing else but Xnews, Moz won't start. But I am going
to guess that the real problem is the Personal Toolbar Folder.
I have a huge PTF containing 7 large folders of links and four links. (I'm
a power browser, and I'm dedicated.) I also have a ton of other bookmarks.
I've seen some other PTF weirdness during this investigation... like
deleting the PTF only to see an OLDER PTF show up... but I didn't document
that clearly, and I want to keep my facts straight.
I haven't submitted a bug on this... is this the sort of bug that should be
submitted... can anyone submit a bug with bugzilla, or is it preferred that
developers do it?
