159464 - very, very, very, very, very slow, then does not respond

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Roger Davis]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows 95)
BuildID:    2002053012

First, be aware that this system is on a T1 line over a network, using Socks.

At first installation, and for a few weeks, everything works fine.  Now, upon 
startup of Mozilla, it take several minutes to load the start page.  Even 
Google takes a full minute or two to load.  Eventually, Mozilla fails to 
respond at all.  I have experienced this same problem with Netscape 6.x.  IE 
works ok at the same time and URL.

The only way I have found to make this problem go away is to totally uninstall, 
then reinstall after a day or two.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Mozilla or Netscape 6.x  (4.x is fine)
2.Use it for a few weeks
3.Eventually when you start Mozilla, the problem will be present

Actual Results:  Frustration!  Pages take several minutes to load, then Mozilla 
stops working.

Expected Results:  Load pages in very short time

I have tried clearing all cache and cookies, etc, to no avail.

[Vidar Haarr (not reading bugmail)]

Reporter: please remove mozilla1.0 and install a recent nightly build.

If that fixes your problem, resolve this bug as WFM, if not, try with a new
profile. In either case, report back here :)

Roger Davis:  no mozilla developer has been able to reproduce your bug, so I am
marking this bug WORKSFORME.  If this continues to occur, please try a new
version of mozilla such as 1.2a.  Also, please make sure that you are not
sharing a profile between Mozilla and Netscape 6 or 7.  If this problem
continues to occur, please re-open this bug.  Thank you.
