[Bug 614961] [NEW] Firefox freezes on launch with 'futex_wait_queue_me'

[Dante]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Every time I start Firefox, both firefox and java are listed as
'futex_wait_queue_me' in the system monitor. Firefox is not responsive
at this time. I have no java applications running on either the computer
nor firefox. This happens every time I launch firefox.

Everything becomes unresponsive, webpage content, scrollbars, UI buttons
and window controls.

Checking on this tells me people around 8.10 got this bug. However, I am
on 10.04.
