Details

Mac OS X 10.7.1, Intel core i5, Camino 2.0.9
In order for most web pages to function properly the box 'Java Script' has to be checked. But the site france2.fr keeps flashing and the box has to be unchecked to stop it.
I've no idea what that site is trying. The same infinite loop happens with Camino 2.1b2, Firefox 3.6 and Firefox.latest (6 I think).
Unless there's something obviously TE-worthy here, this sounds like INVALID, then.
The site behaves quite normal with Safari 5.1 and also with Firefox 6.0.2 (Windows XP SP3).

That prompted me to revisit cookies settings in the Firefox build I used. It was set to block 3rd party cookies – something I had forgotten.
In Camino checking 'Accepting cookies from any site' makes the loop disappear (Preferences > Privacy).
The offending cookie comes from ftv-publicite.fr (ad server and tracking).

This makes this bug invalid.
