From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020310 BuildID: 2002031008 Mozilla 0.9.9 is such a capable browser that it's starting to negatively impact all facets of my life. The damn thing is so stable that I can run it for days on end without problems. I've tried throwing weird Flash sites, Java applets, and horked JavaScript at Mozilla, but it refuses to crash! My 0.5 GB of RAM starts filling up because I have 30 mozilla windows open, each with 10 tabs and my sidebar. This is simply unacceptable; a *second* window with tabs is too many. Please make mozilla crash upon creating a tab in a second window. Additionally, I've forgotten to eat on a number of occasions; friends tried to bring me a snack while I was using Mozilla, but found me in my room, drooling at the new XUL themes I had just downloaded. They consequently decided to leave me alone. Finally, despite all the pornography I'm viewing (one has to test the JavaScript Window popup disabling-functionality somehow!), my boyfriend is starting to become annoyed with the fact that I'm not coming to bed anymore. I'm actually getting less play than before mozilla 0.9.9 came along!! Please mozilla.org... lower your standards... put some bugs back in... and, overall, "FIX" YOUR DAMN BROWSER! Don't unleash this monster upon the unsuspecting public! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start mozilla 2. Go to favorite website 3. Click a link 4. Click a link... 5. ... 6. Notice 26 hours have passed Actual Results: Beautifully displayed, standards compliant websites rendered at lightning speed flying across my screen, depsite the tabs upon tabs opened in numerous windows all over my desktop. No crashes. Expected Results: Mozilla should only follow web standards with direct corporate-strategic value, leak memory, take over my machine when I'm not using it, install software that mozilla.org feels every user needs installed (whether they want it or not), make sure content providers can popup ads and collect consumer information from me without my knowledge and crash my computer (and those of my surrounding co-workers) whenever a mispelled or otherwise incorrect tag is encountered. Just like a certain other browser from the Northwest region of the country. Damn, *they* knew how to write a browser; you guys could take a lesson or two. Don't you know no one's going to use Mozilla if it doesn't coredump every few hours like all those other browsers? Also, I think it would help if Messanger/Mozilla could help propogate worms (like CodeRed and Nimda); we don't want to surprise any new Mozilla users by not allowing black hats to compromise and takeover their workstations, like they're used to.

Suggest keyword regression, since this was working at one time. I suspect that many thousands of checkins over several years could be responsible for the current bug; we may have to back them all out to get things working again. Reporter: in the meantime, several workarounds are available for free; try ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/m3/ http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp (on Windows) Alternatively, there should be a cable coming out of your computer connected to a LAN or phone port, or an antenna attached to your computer. Remove this, and your problems should disappear.

I agree with the reporter. Mozilla is just too damn stable for it own kind. I tend to find myself browsing for more porn than ever. The amount of whack off time is starting to hurt in more places than one. Work is starting to get suspicius of my claim of having a sore hand because of the job. My girlfriend finally broke it off with me because I'm not spending any more time to see her. I haven't seen my newborn in 2 weeks. My college marks are slipping away big time. I tend to submit my research of webpages to my professors via email and they claim that I need to write my report in my own words with a bibliography of where I got the information. My friends that want to take me out to parties/festivities seems to have given up on calling me. The one attempt to pry me from the keyboard has ended with bloodshed, 1 person reported dead. I think the solution to this bug is to have the installer automatically install a free Bonzai Buddy. Those purple monkeys are a pain in the ass and might be a great detourant for the amount of web browsing one might encounter. Also, Mozilla should have a "**** break" feature where the web browser will not work for 15 minutes on every hour to give people a chance to releave themselves. PLEASE, YOU MUST DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, this is starting to piss me off! I've been spending days attempting to get this damn thing to crash, and yet it won't. People, can't you do anything? Is there any fix from Microsoft? Could we try compiling Mozilla with an alpha-stage compiler? How about shipping it not only with bonzi buddy, but also with all that stupid stuff in Kazaa, and add a routine to uninstall any Lavasoft Ad-Aware installation? My god, this is... unbelievable. I just can't take it any mroe *starts crying*

We added a special "hang" feature to mozilla and you can't find it ? just type a bracket ( [ ) in the URL-bar and hit enter...

I think I have a workaround for this... Find a few random content-free sites (preferably something with inane pictures of NSYNC or Dragonball Z or somesuch) and start printing them out on a laser printer. It may take a few minutes, but if you continue doing this, you can eventually get the browser to crash. I can't take credit for discovering this workaround myself. (I would never have thought of any strategy so brilliant as printing web pages.) But I work at a public library, and the patrons who come in to use the internet here, because they don't have the internet at home, all seem to be able to find this workaround. I suggest that the reported adopt the practice of needlessly printing out about every third web page, and see if that improves matters somewhat. It seems to work for our patrons. Perhaps a patch could be made for a pref to cause printing to be automatically attempted for each page visited. That would automate the process of initiating crashes, as well as having the additional benefit of using preposterous amounts of paper and toner. Alternately, if the crashes are desired without the printing, it may be possible to write a Perl script that waits for a random number of minutes and then does `killall -9 mozilla` This would be a non-Mozilla solution, but it would work.

I guess the pain is why everyone uses the superior Internet Explorer instead these days then?
