Public bug reported: In the Ubuntu Firefox build (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060608 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.4), setTimeout/setInterval with low delays (<50ms?) end up firing extremely slowly. This does NOT occur in the official mozilla.org build of Firefox.
The following pages exhibit this behaviour: http://slashdot.org Click on one of the slider menus, it will move down a few pixels and then hang. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/default.aspx The header images should fade from one to another smoothly, but they only start fading and then the fade becomes very jerky and slow. http://blgames.y-hosting.net News ticker in upper-right corner starts sliding and then becomes very jerky and slow just like the MSDN page. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- setTimeout with low delay values don't fire correctly in Dapper Firefox https://launchpad.net/bugs/52179 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
