342415 - Too big HTMLs seem to stop firefox from downloading and displaying them.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[George Panagopoulos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060614 Fedora/1.5.0.4-1.2.fc5 Firefox/1.5.0.4 pango-text

If you go to the url I provided firefox starts displaying some context and then it stops. Note that the size of the context may vary. Firefox says that it is transfering data from the website but the internet is idle. Then it says done but it isn't complete. This also happens to other pages of this website. I don't know if it is a website fault. It works fine with ie.... 

Reproducible: Always




I tried to download the html file using wget and then load the stored file using firefox. That worked so I assume firefox has no problem loading large files. Also neither epiphany has managed to open this url so it might be a gecko problem.
