Attached file HTML file
Page has oodles of unclosed font tags.  Eventually it hits our "max number of
open tags" ceiling and then it can't open any <a> tags.

Sorry for this.
It's not usually my style to open bugs like this.
I just didn't look further into the HTML because it is a Netscape hosted page
originally. As far as I am concerned I wouldn't want to give this any priority.

I am getting frustrated with this browser because of other things such as
bug 120940 suddenly has no more priority.

The thing is supposed to display pages. If it can't display a page background
then I don't know why bugs are being chased that don't even have a testcase
e.g. bug 118404.

I think you developers have to be selfish enough to sometimes give preference to
faults that have sponsors (man-hour wise) in the service provider segment of
user community.

As far as I am concerned, bugs submitted to bugzilla (except this one) have
testcases that mostly took considerable effort to extract from what would
otherwise very difficult to analyse problems.

So please by all means close this ugly thing if you wish and maybe have a look
at the more juicy bits that are almost 99% complete such as:
bug 119529

I am obviously waiting for bug 120940, bug 114827, bug 119529, bug 44306, 
bug 102341, bug 96943 at least.

This is all stuff that works in Netscape 4.

Why are things suddenly getting stuck and more bugs start to apear every day
while old ones are losing priority?
This bug is a know problem with CSSFrameConstructor and fixing it would mean
rewriting parts of layout. I don't think this is feasible in the near future.

Please make your plea on the respective bugs.
