107866 - Back and Forward crashes browser with this Gamespot URL

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 102743

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011

I can crash the browser every time using the Back or Forward buttons from this
particular Gamespot URL.  I haven't tested other Gamespot pages.  Here's two
ways I can do it:

BACK METHOD:
1)  Load this page:
http://gamespot.com/gamespot/features/pc/unsung_heroes/sec2_04.html

2)  Click the screenshot at the bottom right (others will work, too)

3)  After Moz displays the page with the screenshot, click Mozilla's BACK button

* Note: Clicking the "Back" *LINK* provided by Gamespot (not the Moz function,
but their link) works as expected and does *not* crash the browser.


FORWARD METHOD
1) Load any old page (www.yahoo.com works, or bugzilla)

2) Load this page (it's the actual screenshot page):
http://gamespot.com/gamespot/features/pc/unsung_heroes/nethackgraphic.html
3) Click back and reload the first page.

4) Click forward to reload the Gamespot screenshot page.

Marking as dupe of bug 102743. 

Reporter: This bug should be fixed in later builds:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-win32-talkback.zip
(as always, be sure to delete your old Mozilla directory before installing the
new one)

If this bug still occurs for you with the newer build, please reopen this bug.
