Description Immo 'FaUl' Wehrenberg 2007-06-18 18:07:46 UTC

Firefox wakes up serval times a second as someone used PR_TicksPerSecond()/4 instead of PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run firefox
2. run intel powertop
Actual Results:  
it wakes up serval times a second which wakes up the CPU from C3 in C0 and thus causes useless power-consumption on my laptop

Expected Results:  
while doing nothing, it should not wake up but allow the cpu to went into C3-state
