This URL causes Firebird to crash. It starts to load, gets to a certain point
(which I cannot identify), then crashes. If I stop the page loading early on, it
does not crash. I have "Load Images for the originating website only" turned on
(if that is important).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to www.globeandmail.com
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Starts to load, then crashes. 

Expected Results:  
Should have loaded the page without crashing.
Can you try a recent nightly build? I can't reproduce the crash on Linux with
Mozilla 1.6.

I downloaded mozilla-mac-MachO.dmg.gz dated 06-Feb-2004 11:51 and installed it,
but it will not run - the app starts to fire up, then unexpectedly quits.

I can confirm that with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US;
rv:1.5) Gecko/20031026 Firebird/0.7, if I select "load images" in the Firebird
prefs, but deselect "for the originating web site only", then Firebird does not
crash at the globeandmail.com site.

BTW, I am also running Adblock (v 0.5 d2 Nightly Build 35). I'll see if that
might be causing the crash.


Page loads fine on Gecko/20040121 & adblock 0.5.2 build 34
The page seems to load without crashing for me (20040205 Firebird/0.8.0+), even
with "Load images for the originating website only" selected.

Kevin, could you please temporarily trash your user prefs (basically the entire
Phoenix folder in the Library in your home folder), restart the browser, set the
image preference again, and see if the page still crashes? A lot of obscure
crashes seem to be the result of corrupt user prefs.

cheers
Er, I meant Ken, not Kevin. Sorry about that :)

No problem. I won't be back at that machine until Tuesday, and will try then. 
By the way, Wayne, do  you have Adblock running? On Friday I began to conclude that the problem 
was there and not with Load Images. But I did not have time to try the various perms and combs to 
confirm my suspicion. 


Page loads fine on

Mozilla Firebird extention has not installed.

No, I don't use adblock, or any Firebird extensions.
WFM,

I think that this page has Flash, so it may be a Flash plugin problem
I am now convinced it's an Adblock problem, and will move to the appropriate
discussion.
