User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051123 Firefox/1.5

The other day I added the following entries in my 'hosts' file in an attempt to speed up Firefox:

127.0.0.1	a.as-us.falkag.net
127.0.0.1	red.as-us.falkag.net
127.0.0.1	sel.as-us.falkag.net
127.0.0.1	spe.atdmt.com
127.0.0.1	view.atdmt.com
127.0.0.1	ak.buy.com
127.0.0.1	ad.doubleckick.net
127.0.0.1	image.ebuyer.com
127.0.0.1	nfong.freestats.com
127.0.0.1	altfarm.mediaplex.com
127.0.0.1	img.mediaplex.com
127.0.0.1	amch.questionmarket.com
127.0.0.1	www.softwareandstuff.com

Specifically this was to speed up the Tech Bargains page: http://www.techbargains.com/

Now when I come to my computer in the morning, Firefox has crashed.  Given that the big change is that now the many iframes on Tech Bargains display the XUL 'site not found' page (a nice addition overall), and that the Tech Bargains page auto-refreshes, I suspect there might be something in the (simultaneous) display of so many instances of this error page over and over.

Reproducible: Always

Robert, do you still see this with recent 1.5.0.4 or even 1.5.0.5 nightly builds?

Comment 4

hm, no response from Robert.

Is this still an issue in Firefox 3.5?

If it is not, we should set the resolution of the bug to WORKSFORME.

Resolving as INCOMPLETE since the reporter has not responded.  If more information is provided and bug can still be reproduced, we will reopen it.
