If you go to http://www.zdnet.com with build 2001102903, the browser will start consuming 99% CPU at not stop. I had to do and End Process from the Win2k task manager to kill it. I can't seem to go back to another site and have the CPU utilization go back down either.
No problems here (2001102903 on Win2k). Reporter: You may wish to try a fresh profile. You can manage/create profiles with "mozilla.exe -profilemanager".
The problem seems to be with importing an existing profile from Netscape. When I import a profile, it hangs hard. When I create a new one, it works fine. I guess this would need to be reassigned to a different component. Should I file a new bug?

I've been trying to reproduce this bug consistently since I noticed it. Here's the only way I've been able to make it do this. 1. go to http://www.zdnet.com 2. click on any of the article links before the main page has a chance to load (I should be able to do this) 3. Utilization starts to hover around 90-99%. If I open a new tab before I click a link, I can switch back and forth between the tabs and even click the stop button on the offending tab and it will return to normal. I haven't noticed this behavior on any other websites.
Can anyone else confirm this? I just tried the latest nightly again and I am still getting the same thing as was mentioned in my previous comment. I even installed Mozilla into a different directory this time to see if that might fix it. No such luck though. Mozilla is completely unusable to me in this state (on Win2k with SP2 installed). I will try again hopefully tonight on my Win98SE machine at home.
Wfm with 2001121003, Win98SE.
It seems to be fixed now. WFM now also on Win2k SP2. Build 2001121103
Ok, marking WFM per reporter's comment.
