> What happens with a vanilla Firefox 24.8.0 ESR which Tor Browser is
using?
With a vanilla Firefox 24.8.0 ESR which Tor browser is using, everything
works perfectly. As described in the tests above, the hang on startup only
occurs if HTTPS-Anywhere is enabled.
> Hm... Have you made sure that Firefox was really shut down before you
relaunched it? If so, how?
Its not related to an issue with shutdown. Its related to an issue with
startup.
I just reproduced the issue again now, twice in a row:
1. Started Tor browser.
2. It hung on startup.
3. I waited 2 minutes, then manually killed "firefox.exe".
4. I waited 1 minute.
5. I started Tor browser again.
6. It hung on startup.
7. I waited 2 minutes, then manually killed "firefox.exe".
8. I waited 1 minute.
9. I started Tor browser again.
10. This time it worked.
11. I then disabled HTTPS-Anywhere, and restarted it 25 times in a row,
and it started perfectly every time.
I don't think this issue can be reproduced unless you have an extremely
fast machine. My machine is a Xeon with dual CPU's with a total of 12
processing cores. The system is fantastically stable, and has no issues at
all with any other programs.
