147482 - Freezes the browser.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Fraser]

The browser hangs when I go to www.blackbondbooks.com (home page)

this happens under Mozilla RC3 on Win98 and RC2 on Win2K. All open browser
windows lock up, and the icon in the icon tray is unresponsive. I had to kill
mozilla with the task manager.

Works for me.  1.0, RC3, WinXP, JDK 1.4, Athlon XP 1800.  Mozilla freezes
for a little while (~12 seconds), then shows the page.  Perhaps this is due
to the java applet on the page?

What happens if you go to Preferences->Advanced and disable Java?  does it
work then?

Also Linux rc3.
Java starts, Java console pops up, then
suddenly gets grey, and the page shows a
small grey rectangle somewhere on the 
right.
This happens on ANY page with Java.
Seems to be a regression from rc2 with
OJI. This is a real showstopper !

Additional Info:
Using Sun Java VM 1.4 ns610 plugin. Bug 147445 seems to have the same problem
with 1.3.1 plugin.
This one maybe upgraded to BLOCKER and OS=All.

Sorry, must correct myself: This does NOT happen on all java pages,
e.g. http://phylogeny.arizona.edu/life.html works.

wfm with win2k build 20020525.. and JRE1.4

Reporter: Can you upgrade to JRE1.4 if you use JRE1.3.X ?

[e-mail] : This can't be a blocker sinde it doesn't block
development..

[Brian Fraser]

As suggested, I upgraded both my Win98 and Win2K machines form Java SDK 1.3.1_02
to JRE1.4. 

The page loads correctly now on both computers.
