[Bug 438868] Re: Address bar autocomplete and search bar autocomplete doesn't always work after emerging from a screensaver or suspend

[Sebastian Thürrschmidt]

Compiz is very likely a factor here. Following diego's advice, I
switched the window manager to Metacity (using Compiz Fusion Icon),
restarted Firefox, checked if the awesomebar was working (it was, no
surprise here), suspended, resumed and immediately tried the awesomebar
again. It was still working! Then I re-enabled Compiz, went through
another suspend-and-resume cycle, and the old behavior (no suggestions
coming up) was back.

Another thing that may or may not be relevant here: I have two portable
computers, an Atom netbook running i386 Ubuntu and a Core 2 Duo notebook
running the amd64 version. My home directories, including Firefox
profiles as well as all dot files and directories, are the same on both
machines and get synchronized periodically. On the 32-bit netbook I get
the awesomebar issue each and every time after suspending with Firefox
running, whereas on the 64-bit notebook I have never ever encountered
it. That's the current situation with Lucid, and it was the same with
Karmic. The two machines have, of course, vastly different hardware, but
the selection of manually installed packages is very similiar.
