Firefox hung due to offscreen Window
Posted by Jeff December 22, 2006
I had Firefox open on my laptop and clicked on a video file to download it. Firefox hung.. couldn’t get to Tools/Downloads. But it wasn’t take much CPU.
After 10 minutes, I had an idea.. was there a modal window up? Clicked into Firefox, and its titlebar was the lighter blue color of a behind window. I typed Alt-Space, M for Move, then Right Arrow for 10 seconds. Sure enough, a modal came inching onto the screen where I’d been hooked up to an external 24″ monitor.
