136550 - Mozilla blocking net connections

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: QuickLaunch (AKA turbo mode), defect)

Description

[Stefan Champailler]

I Run Windows 2000 Professional, Mozilla 9.9 (with bug tacking enabled). My PC
is connected to the web through a standard ethernet lan (50 computers or so),
behind a firewall. I've set the "quick-launch" mode. It just works fine. 

After 1-2 days of using Mozilla (under the same quick-launch "session"), it's
impossible to use telnet from my machine. At the same time, I also use Dynamo
which is unable to open connections on other machines (JDBC connection). Mozilla
is not affected.

As soon as I disable quick-launch and quit Mozilla, everything get back to
normal. I can also get back to normal by disabling my net connection and
re-enabling it right after (using the standard Windows dialogs).

Reporter: 
Do you see many open connections with "netstat -a" (if you get this problem)  ?

Comment 2

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Stefan, do you use mailnews?  This sounds a lot like bug 67957.

Comment 3

[Stefan Champailler]

I had the same problem. But stopping Mozilla didn't fix it. Therefore I guess
this is a non-issue. Sorry.

[Michael Lefevre]

resolving WORKSFORME - reporter's comment 3 implies Stefan was not having a
problem with mozilla any more.
