180221 - one bad site locks up browser

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 163605

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[phelix]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

Whenever I visit https://ibank.amouth.com, it load about half way then stops. 
THe little animated mozilla icon still goes as if it is still downloading
something, but nothing happnes. I am able to open other windows, but an unable
to load any other web pages.  Hitting the stop button or closing the window
loading https://ibank.amsouth.com has no effect.  I have to kill mozilla and
restart it.  It's like mozilla gets stuck on this one site and won't do anything
else until this site finishes loading (which it almost never does).  Sometimes,
closing all windows does not kill mozilla; I have to go into the task manager to
kill it (i'm not using quicklauncher).

Note that this site makes heavy use of javascript most likely optimized for IE.
 I realize that https://ibank.amsouth.com may be a badly designed site, but it
should now completely screw up mozilla like this.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  visit https://ibank.amsouth.com
2.  wait for the page to partially load
3.  open a new browser window and visit http://bugzilla.mozilla.org
Actual Results:  
The new browser window does not do anything

Expected Results:  
bugzilla main page should have loaded

this should be bug 163605 (fixed one day after 1.2b)

Please reopen if you see this with the coming 1.2 final or a nightly build
