From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801 BuildID: 2001080104 I noticed that mozilla would take an extremelly long time to start up and shutdown. In the order of minutes on my 700Mhz PIII with 256 ram. Using strace -p pid i noticed there was a lot of write(...) on shutdown and a lot of calls to brk(0xaddress). Poking around I noticed that the bookmarks.html file was 1004299 bytes ! I vi'ed it and noticed 59066 lines of it were duplicate entries for the following URL : http://www.strangecreations.com/library/snippets ADD_DATE="974420308" LAST_VISITED="974750255" LAST_MODIFIED="974420037" Which explains the write()/brk() bit and the sluggishness at startup/shutdown. As for the URL I do not recognize the name of the site and the site itself doesn't seem to be operational anymore. The dates (if actually timestamps) seem to be from a year ago. But the sluggishness of mozilla was observed just recently. I have upgraded mozilla from 0.9.2 to 0.9.3 a day or two after 0.9.3 was released. I can't think of what might have caused the bookmarks to duplicate like so. My apologies if this bug-report is of little use. Reproducible: Didn't try
