Torbutton app-blocker wrapper creates high load on FF5 startup
I'm using TB 1.4.0 with FF5 (5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2 from Ubuntu). Recently I noticed that the system load was very high when I start Firefox. So I have an empty session with an empty start page. When I start FF it takes lots of seconds until the FF window shows up. During this time the cpu load is ~100%.
I did a git bisect today and found out that commit 81624d96f2427bf2f1be7893d0bd08c1f9b38f61 causes the problem. Within the file src/components/external-app-blocker.js this was added: || method == "getTypeFromURI". If I remove this and install TB, it starts without any huge load or large startup time.
