Hi all!
I found out that, opening Net panel and searching within response bodies (I'm using Italian localization, I'm not sure it's the right name for that option), firebug may freeze Firefox.
In order to reproduce the issue

- download some text with Firefox and search some contained text within Net Panel, with "Search within response bodies" option checked
- found text is highlighted
- uncheck "Search within response bodies" and click "Previous" or "Next" in Search panel

My Firefox freezes. Does yours?

It works fine for me using Firefox 27.0 + Firebug 1.12.6 on Win8.1. What's your configuration? Does that happen on every page? Could another extension be the culprit for this?

Hi Sebastian, thanks for your answer!
In fact I wasn't using a "clean" Firefox profile: I created a brand new one, and I tested this way:

On https://getfirebug.com/firstrun#Firebug%201.12.6

I searched twice for "firebug" with with "Search within response bodies" and the first occurrence in response body was selected ("<title>Firebug</title>").
I unchecked the option and pressed "Forward": it still searched for response body.
I pressed "Back" and nothing happened (it neither freezed).
Looks like there is a different (not freezing) glitch :)
Can you verify it?
Thanks!

Hi Sebastian,
I posted a new message, but looks like it's been deleted.
Do you know why?

I can reproduce that. Can you please create an issue for that and include your test case?

It was not deleted. The first messages just have to be confirmed by one of us first. Now you should be able to post without confirmation.

Hi and thanks again :)
I was confused by the "This message has been deleted" (in Italian), message :)
Anyway, I created the issue: I didn't know where to do it ;)
