This is unlikely to be a bug in JavaScript Engine; reassigning to
Browser-General until we can get further information. 

1. Could someone set up a test account for us at the site? 
   e.g. User=mozilla, Password=bugzilla

2. Are there any errors in Tools > Web Development > JavaScript Console?
   (be sure to clear it of any previous errors first)

3. Have you changed any settings in Edit > Preferences?

4. Does the site work with a new Profile? You can do this via
   [(path to Mozilla)] ./mozilla.exe -profilemanager

Hi,

1. I've created such an account.

2. No, there aren't any errors displayed.

3. Yes, but not in the "Scripting" dialogue.

4. I haven't it tested yet.

Sincerely

Fabian

Fabian: thank you for setting up the test account!!!

The site also WORKSFORME using Mozilla trunk 2002050807 WinNT.
I will try with a more up-to-date build. 

Fabian: what happens if you create a new Mozilla profile?
To do that, launch Mozilla from a console window as follows:

      [(path to Mozilla)]./mozilla -profilemanager

I'm wondering if the bug goes away if you use Mozilla with
the new profile -

I created a new profile - and everything worked fine !

To be more specific with my profiles.

I have two computers running Mozilla (both Win 2k):

1. Computer is directly connected to the Internet. Mozilla was installed the
first time in version 0.9.7 or so and has been always been updated by installing
every new release on the running system. On this computer the problem is that
you are logged out once you type something in the chat. Until 0.9.8 or 0.9.9
everything worked fine.

2. Computer is connected through a proxy to the Internet. First install of
Mozilla was 0.9.8 or 0.9.9 (everything worked fine). This Mozilla isn't able tpo
log out from the chat.

I tested the new profile on the second computer.

Both computers use the official release of RC2.
