[Bug 225425] [NEW] firefox crash when rearranging bookmarks

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

after upgrading to Hardy, with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it;
rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041514 Firefox/3.0b5, Firefox hangs with 100% CPU
usage if I try to drag a bookmark entry in the bookmark drop-down
bookmarks list.

I click the Bookmarks menu, I click on  a bookmark, then I drag it:
Firefox freezes, CPU usage goes to 100%, X is unusable. The mouse
pointer moves, but clicking or pressing keys does nothing. The system
monitor on the Gnome panel keeps working. In two instances I switched to
a console and killed Frefox from there, so I could keep working. In a
third instance, switching to a console showed a corrupted screeen, and I
was unable to kill Firefox even by blindly typing "killall firefox", not
could I manage to kill X by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, so I had to hit the
reset button.
