On a new mozilla session I can get exactly ONE gopher URL before it freezes.
Starting a new mozilla session ONLY AFTER CLOSING MOZILLA COMPLETELY will let me
get another gopher reference. Have had friends duplicate this bug with Mozilla
1.2.1.

Gopher doesn't work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Step 1:
Go to suggested link.  Click on South Carolina...watch what happens.
Step 2:
Close mozilla completely.
Step 3:
Go to suggested link + "/south%20carolina" ...watch what happens.
Actual Results:  
After step 1 - Mozilla displays gopher link, and blankness - download bar never
completes.
After step 3 - Mozilla displays gopher link and proper page results.

Expected Results:  
Should not have needed step 2 and 3

i think this is bug 177060... if not, maybe it's bug 149322?

I disagree with the reassignment on this bug - the problem happens with 
directories as well - it is not specific to any specific type of Gopher link.
In fact, I have no problem retrieving text links if I follow the instructions I 
have given.

some gopher stuff has been fixed (bug 202188)

Rich - can you reproduce this bug with 1.5 or a recent nightly build?  If so,
please comment again with details.  If not, please resolve this bug as
WORKSFORME. thanks.

[Michael Lefevre]

no response, so resolving as a dupe again.

Rich - if you still see problems with 1.6beta or a new nightly, please reopen.
