found this using opt comm bits 2000.05.09.08 on linux, mac and winNT. this differs from bug 33542 (which seems to work these days) in that the form has multiple fields to prefill. 0. make sure your profile has stored form data --what i'd here is make sure that name.first and name.last have values. go thru the first three steps of smoketest #B24 (Autofill, http://www.mozilla.org/quality/smoketests/) to accomplish this. 1. go to the above URL for the cdnow sample form (http://www.mozilla.org/wallet/samples/cdnow.html). note that unlike the sample form for amazon, there are separate fields for the first and last name, rather than a single one which concatenates name.first and name.last into a single value. 2. select Tasks > Personal Mgrs > Form Mgr > Prefill Form Safely. result: browser hangs. nasty on Mac: requires a restart of the machine; bad on linux: need to jump out of X, kill the mozilla pid's, jump back into X. annoying on winNT: kill the browser task.

very bizarre! after i got the hang from bug 38709, i now can hang the browser even when going to the amazon.com sample form (which has a single field that cat's multiple field values). i'm baffled.
another note: this recent problem occurred on linux (different session, too)
Oops, I created a regression when fixing bug 36116. Fix now checked in. Change was in wallet.cpp.
