"People said iOS betas are surprisingly solid. I'm finding the exact opposite with MacOS Mojave beta. Crashes, malfunctions galore. Latest problem: @FirefoxNightly can't download 1.6GB file (throttled at 6MB/sec, failed twice). @googlechrome got it fine at 77MBps first time."

So is there an example URL that triggers this? It smells like a macos problem to me.

I suspect we don't have many necko people running that beta version. Can anyone reproduce this?

I am only filing the issue reported by our nightly users, I am not a macos user.

I did try to contact the Twitter user to get more information, but he hasn't yet responded.

Sadly there is not much we can with this bug without some URL information.

I am closing this as WFM. It was reported 2 months ago, and we haven't been able to get more information about the URL in question. Please feel to reopen if we can reliably reproduce it a particular site.
