Hello! I'm trying to test my new firefox out (no automated self-tests appear available) and, it seems, downloading extensions for it (through Tools->Extensions->Get New Extensions) is the most "stressful". Some of them work, but, for example Forecastfox (which is currently among the most popular according to the Mozilla site) will reliably hang firefox for me. Starting with a non-existant ~/.mozilla the browser downloads the extension fine and installs it. Then it needs to be restarted. On restart it hangs (consuming consuming most of the CPU) after saying "Downloading extension data source". The linux-firefox has no obvious problems starting after that and the extension works fine in it. Things work fine on FreeBSD/i386 too. Is this something, the new patches I'm working on could've introduced, or does this extension cause problems on amd64 with the current firefox port too? Thanks! -mi
