282640 - Firefox 1.0 Lockup during startup, attempting to connect to homepage

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[devmgr]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox

Upon startup of Firefox 1.0 Final Release, browser locks up attempting to 
connect to http://daw-systems.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/index.php. I have not been 
able to connect to any other site, as the browser locks up within 3 seconds, 
and if I manage to click "stop" before the lockup, the program locks anyway. I 
have used this address as my homepage for approximately 2 months with no 
difficulty. It worked until approximately 12:00 PM local time (PST). I shut 
the system down, and upon restarting, Firefox simply quit working properly. I 
have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, restarted the computer 6 times, and 
the software still does not work.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
