[Bug 311622] Re: Cleaning personal information makes Firefox hang up randomly.

[IKON (Ion)]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
- By using the auto-cleaning of personal information feature upon exit in
- Firefox, sometimes the program cannot terminate correctly. When you
- click on the close button ("X") the main window closes and the
- information cleaner window pops up. If you continue with the cleaning
- procedure there are times when this small window freezes (becomes
- somewhat whitened and blurred). You have to end the process through
- Ubuntu's non-responding app dialog in order for the program to exit.

+ Normalized bug format:
+ Summary: 
+ Auto-cleaning personal information (cookies, temporary files etc) upon firefox's termination using the built-in feature makes the program to go into non responding state at random times (as it seems by now).
+ Steps to reproduce: 
+ Bug happens randomly, after browsing for a while, exiting the program and after clicking the confirmation button for clearance of the private information (pop-up window), so no real steps here.
+ Expected result:
+ Information are cleared, pop-up window and the program in general ends normally.
+ Actual result:
+ Firefox gets into non-responding state, and the pop-up window freezes in place, sometimes the text and buttons disappears and the window becomes just a white rectangle. All of this, after clicking on the confirmation button (ie, when the cleaning process is supposed to be executed).
