Every time I open up a filechooser window for saving (mostly dealing with high-quality res pictures), if I exceed a certain rate on my PC, Firefox dies. The amount of time it takes to open up the GTK filechooser window is proportional to the files, with the same extension, in the directory that I last saved an image to. This same problem occurs on OSX (PowerPC), but the bulk majority of the issue seems to be occurring on my Linux box (specs seen below), and it seems to be more regular now (maybe due to my XFCE version, or not), and the problem has been occurring less regularly since Firefox 1.5.0.3~1.5.0.5. So, ultimately this issue may be an upstream one, but considering that the Firefox binary for OSX is Cocoa-based, this error seems inconsistent. I am using XFCE4.4 beta2. gcooper@sprsd ~ $ emerge --info && emerge -pv mozilla-firefox gtk+ xfwm4 Portage 2.1.2_rc2-r5 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-emission1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-emission1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Mon, 04 Dec 2006 10:30:01 +0000 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17.50.0.6 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -mtune=pentium4 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse,387 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -ftracer -fforce-addr -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /etc/X11 /etc/samba /etc/ssh /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -mtune=pentium4 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse,387 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -ftracer -fforce-addr -funroll-loops -pipe -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.utf8" LINGUAS="en_US ja_JP" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/lcl/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac alsa apache2 apm bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 cjk cli cracklib crypt dlloader dri dvdr elibc_glibc emboss encode fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 iconv imlib input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg kernel_linux lcms libwww linguas_en_US linguas_ja_JP mmx mmxext mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nsplugin nvidia ogg opengl oss pam pcre perl png pppd python quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU video_cards_apm video_cards_nvidia vorbis xcomposite xml xorg xv zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Just to clarify, by rate I mean "rate by which I open up filechooser windows".
Are you able to reproduce the problem with mozilla-firefox-bin?
(In reply to comment #2) > Are you able to reproduce the problem with mozilla-firefox-bin? > Known issue upstream they are working on it, Should be fixed when 2.0.0.1 is released.
Resolving as upstream.
Reopend via Anarchy.
Unfortunately I've left Gentoo Linux completely in favor of FreeBSD though, so I can't recreate the issue any longer that I had with Gentoo, necessarily. I'll leave the bug report's status as-is.
Fixed upstream via Anarchy.
