121483 - Browser "gets stuck" on the same page - won't change pages

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Gordon Schumacher]

I'm afraid this may not be very helpful, but it does prevent me from using 
Mozilla at all on my system.  On this particular Windows 2000 system, Mozilla 
gets stuck in a state where any page that I request in the Address field gives 
me the same page - generally one of the first ones I've loaded, or very rarely 
one "based on" that one (i.e., the first page I displayed was http://a.b.c/def, 
and I get stuck on http://a.b.c)

I can't reproduce it specifically on command, though it happens every time that 
I use Mozilla (if I use it for long enough.)  I believe it can always navigate 
anywhere within one site correctly (i.e., the first site) but I can make it 
happen much more quickly by switching sites often.  Mozilla.org, strangely, 
seems to be one of the sites that causes it to happen faster.

Let me know if there's any additional research I can do on this one - I just 
don't even know where to start!

Try with a blank profile, always include build ids in bug reports, remember to
delete your old moz dir when installing a new nightly, please try a recent
nightly if you're not, and eat lots of fish and fruits and stuff, that should at
least keep you healthy.

No response->WFM. Gordon, please answer the questions and re-open if you
can reproduce on a recent build. Thanks.
