[Bug 879240] Re: Firefox hangs when trying to use any dropdown or right-click menu

 

I have the same problem on Firefox 8 too.

It occurs only on one of my computers and only occasionally. Rebooting
usually fixes the problem. The problem was more persistent on a live
system, so it may happen because of low resources (I speaking of Intel
Celeron E1400 @ 2.00GHz × 2 with 1GB RAM and GeForce 8600 GT/PCI/SSE2 or
Intel 82945G/GZ).

The same bug is reported to occur in Firefox 8, 9 and 10 as well and on
a different machine.
