Summary: Firefox 3 unusably slow, triggered by flash ads? Product: Wine Version: 1.1.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
If I go to news.com, pick any story (e.g. today's Google Mail for Mobile), and just sit there hitting reload, eventually the browser will slow to a crawl and become unusable. This also happens when just normally browsing around. I imagine it's caused by particular flash ads (a Microsoft one seemed to trigger the latest problem).
This is with Wine from Oct 18th. I use Firefox3 every day or two for a little dogfood testing, and today is the first time I noticed it, so it's likely to be a new ad rather than a new wine problem. But who knows.

--- Comment #2 from Xavier Vachon xvachon@gmail.com 2009-06-04 14:43:47 --- Tested Firefox today with current git (1.1.22), and I only experience a mild slowdown. Firefox remains very usable nonetheless. I believe that it is mostly caused by the unstable connection I have at home and at college. Dan, could you retest this and give your thoughts?

--- Comment #3 from Warren Dumortier nwarrenfl@gmail.com 2010-02-12 07:37:06 --- Just tried to experience what described, but here i do not have any problems. Can you re-test it maybe? Here it works with Wine 1.1.38 without this problem.
Loading times are quite long, but i tried with native Firefox and it takes the same time to load the page, probably the ads that are lagging, but that's not the fault of any Wine bug then of course...

After unfreezing the site becomes interactable again. If I remove flashplayer, firefox doesn't freeze.

--- Comment #6 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2011-11-12 16:52:19 CST --- No, the problem in firefox 3.6 and above (including firefox 7) is different, that's bug 29077.
I'll try to dogfood firefox for a week and report back.
