Short pages (google.com, www.ibiblio.org/javafaq, slashdot.org) render as blank
and have no page source at all. However, once in a while, a page will render
normally.
Longer pages (versiontracker.com) have page source that is truncated, like this:

Notice that it just ends.
So, Mozilla 0.9.7 is totally unusable on MacOS 8.6 right now. Fresh install,
using a newly created user profile (though it also renders incorrectly using a
converted NS 4.79 profile).

Are you using a proxy, by any chance?

No proxy, set to direct connection to the internet.

Comment 4•24 years ago

First load of this URL with Mozilla 0.9.7 (OS 9.2.2) looked rather pitiful --
much of the page was rendered in Times New Roman in the default colors instead
of the intended font and color. Upon reloading the page immediately, the items
took on their proper characteristics.

Hm. I read somewhere that "mac testers are especially needed", but I don't know
how/what to test this bug... :-\

Confirming to get this some attention, especially since Erich is willing to help
figure it out...

Just to be sure:
You arent using WebFree (or other ad blocker), are you?

Comment 9•24 years ago

I'm not sure what WebFree is, but yes, it was on this computer (got it from my
brother) and removing it has resolved the strange behavior. My apologies if this
is an old known bug. :-(

This is Bug 13982

Nothing to apologize, be happy that all is working now, and keep on testing!
