Description

[Brian King]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030518

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="600;URL=home.html"> causes the page to
reload as it should. Eventually it hangs. Might be indicative of a memory leak
in some component handling some piece of the page (images, javascript, html, etc).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open http://www.canoe.ca
2.Leave it open all day
3.Eventually it will stop rendering and Mozilla will become unresponsive.

Actual Results:  
it will stop rendering and Mozilla will become unresponsive.


Expected Results:  
Continue to reload the page until closed.

I don't think there is anything unique. Mostly using the defaults. I load this
url at part of a group of tabs that are set as my home page. The other URL in
the tab group is
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/cities/can/pages/CAON0512.htm. That URL
does not reload automatically, so it is unlikely to be related since it sits
static after being loaded once.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
