[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Expected:

Using Firefox 52.02, when File download finishes, opening "Display the
progress of ongoing Downloads" (arrow on Right of address bar), then
selecting "Open Containing Folder" icon from Firefox opens Downloads
folder on system.

What happens:

Using Firefox 52.02, when File download finishes, opening "Display the
progress of ongoing Downloads" (arrow on Right of address bar), then
selecting "Open Containing Folder" icon from Firefox, causes system to
hang/crash for period of 2 minutes; (opening menu's, shutdown button,
opening any program at all, etc). Sometimes only way to get response
from system is shutdown/restart.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Ubuntu MATE 17.04.
2. Run Firefox.
3. Browse to any site.
4. Download a file from site.
5. Wait until Download arrow indicator next to address bar arrow on Firefox indicates a completed download.
6.Click on arrow next to/on right address bar "Display the progress of ongoing Downloads".
7. Click on icon "Open Containing Folder".
8. Computer will then freeze/hang/crash for a period of at least 2 minutes.

Additional notes:

1.Computer is unresponsive at this time, menu's are unresponsive, run
application [ALT+ F2] unresponsive, Tabs on Firefox Browser
unresponsive, any other programs running unresponsive, unable to
close/open any programs.

1a. Note: This unresponsive period may last 2 minutes, or sometimes will
only become responsive after killing Firefox process.

2.The date/time applet will still update however. Other applets
unresponsive.

3. Terminal can be run [ALT+ CNRL+T].

4. Terminal will allow "pidof" to be run, to find PID of Firefox.

5. Firefox can be then "killed" by "kill [pid] xxx" via terminal.
Computer becomes responsive again.

6. Running Ubuntu Mate 17.04 from a bootable USB results in the same
thing/problem happening.

7.Same problem happens with Firefox Version 51.

8. Downgrade to 16.10 on same machine, no problem occurs.

9. No crash error report in "about:crashes" in Firefox built in
diagnostics.


Computer Specs:
