142265 - Mozilla freezes if opening that page with javascript and java enabled

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58339

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:

Hi

Every version of mozilla I have tried (and EVERY Netscape 6.x release) freezes
while opening that webpage. If I disable javascript and java then it works very
well. Try to see. Sometimes it loads (VERY rare) so if it does when you try, try
to refresh it and surely it will freeze.
I think it has something to do with the Flash Player Plugin for Linux. I even
upgraded to the latest 5.0 version. If i delete the plugin from the plugins
directory (thus disabling it) I can load the page but every time I will be
notified about the unknown type and wants to send me download the plugin.

Is this totally Macromedia related or Mozilla too ?


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have Java and Javascript enabled
2.Have a Flash Player Plugin installed
3.Open the page www.home.ro
4.If it doesnt freeze try to refresh it (you had luck).
 

Actual Results:  The broser freezes. I can kill it with killall mozilla-bin (it
did the same with Netscape 6.x, used killall netscape to kill it).


Expected Results:  Show the page :)


OS: Linux 2.2.20 with openwall patch (www.openwall.org)
Distribution: Slackware 8.0
X: Xfree 4.1.0 compiled from sources, NVIDIA binary drivers

I have just remembered. If I use Opera 6 with Java and Javascript enabled (and 
the Flash Player Plugin which is the same as the mozilla/netscape one) I dont 
hang/crash the browser accesing http://www.home.ro/

So it seems it is somehow Mozilla/Netscape 6.x related.

worksforme with trunk build 20020504 and branch build 20020503.

Thanks for your answer. I will give it a try. But now I think maybe its not only
Mozilla related. Last night, home, I have installed a Slackware 8.0 full
install. Slack 8.0 comes with an older Mozilla (something 200106xx build), that
Mozilla with tha same Flash plugin didnt crashed at all. I did opened the
mentioned URL many times. I dont know what to believe. I will investigate this
further. Please dont close the ticket now, I will be back with details in 2 days
maximum.

Thanks

it's possible something changed in Mozilla between 200106 and now to cause it to
crash.

it looks like the page uses Javascript to detect whether you have the Flash
plugin or not.  so if Flash is the culprit here, disabling Javascript would fix
your problems.

Are you playing audio in the background?  (see bug 58339)

==> plugins for now

Hi

You are right. The bug is ONLY triggered by FLash PLugin 5.0 and /dev/dsp busy.
I have even tested Netscape 6, Netscape 4.77, Opera6 , all with Flush Plugin 5.0
freeze on loading that web page while listening to some music.

:)
The solution for now is to use the flush plugin that comes with Netscape 4.77 (
version 4), this plugin doest freeze any browser even when /dev/dsp is busy.
