103140 - Mozilla freezes computer

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Anders Lindén]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.10 i586; Nav)
BuildID:    2001091311

I downloaded Mozilla 0.9.4, and  twice it has locked up my computer.
Once while being online, and once reading a local HTML-page. There was nothing
special about the pages, mostly text on them both.
This never happened with 0.9.3.
I'm using kernel 2.4.10 and Nvidias drivers. 


Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start
2.Browse
3.Lock up

Actual Results:  Complete lockup. Could not do anything, pressing the reset
button is the only way out.

Expected Results:  Well, not freezing the computer would be nice.

1. We need clear steps to reproduce or we can't fix such problems
   (Mozilla freeze at this URL......)
2. Mozilla isn't able to freeze your linux system or a WINNT/W2k System
3. If your system hangs then you have a problem with your Hardware/Software    
   (Kernel)
4. Mozilla can only freeze itself or crash. Maybe your X-Server hangs only ?

Milestone 0.9.5 will be out soon. Maybe you will have more luck with that. In
the meantime, why not entertain yourself by reading the bug writing guidelines
available at
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html

If you still have problems, try creating a fresh profile to see if your problems
disappear.
Sorry, but we need reproducible bugreports here ---> INVALID
