[Bug 357276] [NEW] Large set of bookmarks causes Firefox 3.08 to hang

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Application: Firefox 3.08.
 
Environment used for testing: Ubuntu 8.04 running on Sony TZ laptop as well as UNR running on Payson project laptops.

Summary: With a large set of bookmarks (~ 2,000+), when going to
Bookmarks, Organize bookmarks, all open Firefox windows become frozen
for several minutes. This doesn't happen with relatively small set of
bookmarks.

Steps to Reproduce: Import a large (~2000+) set of bookmarks into the
Firefox, then go to Bookmarks, Organize bookmarks.

Expected result: No visible delay should be observed.

Actual result: Long, very uncomfortable delay, causing freezing all open
Firefox windows, requiring sometimes to close Firefox to get out of the
situation.
