Firefox Nightly does not hang/freeze, functions normally.

Thanks for your bug report Grover. Is this a normal Nightly build?
Markus, any idea why the profile lacks symbols?

I believe we're already tracking similar hangs and are working with the JAWS vendor to resolve. Aaron can say more if need be.

Yes, the hangs are due to JAWS' injected DLL blocking the chrome main thread while it does a bunch of other stuff. We're working on it in conjunction with the JAWS developers.

Understood. Going to cite this bug in the QA sign-off report, with reference to Comment 4.

Not sure. Symbolication is rather network and memory intensive, and can take some time. Maybe the profile was uploaded before symbolication was finished.
We should just add the ability to perf.html to symbolicate an existing profile, and then we won't need to worry about this as much anymore.

This is still a valid issue, I see long pauses during "slurp" period after loading a fresh, wordy wikipedia page. try - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westworld_(TV_series)
