Paul, what build ID are you reporting this bug against?

Comment 5

[Paul Ringsmuth]

I'm using Mozilla 1.2a
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910
*** This is build 2002091014 ***

No other browsers, that I am aware of in Mac OS X,  are able to make this Great River 
Regional Library site work either.

I confirm this bug.

Crash during initialization under Mac OS 9.2.2 English-North American
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020913
Build ID 2002091309. Have 'Modern' theme installed.

I get a lot of this on lots of sites recently, see 3 attached MacsBug binhexed
stdlog files. One is for this site, one is for the BBC World Service, and the
last is for somewhere else.

This might be a duplicate of the legion of open JavaScript bugs for Mozilla.

Attachment: stdlog file from clicking upon scrolling news headlines on BBC site

This is important as this site, http://news.bbc.co.uk/, has an enormous amount
of traffic, & within the UK it is the busiest site overall.

Attachment: Java Console output written by FizzillaCFM/2002091014 on 10.1.5

Comment 11

[Greg K.]

I guess I'll confirm that the applet doesn't run using FizzillaCFM/2002091014 on
10.1.5. I don't know enough about Java to guess why, but if it doesn't work on
any OS X browser, it's probably a problem between MRJ and the applet, and not a
Mozilla bug. I've attached the output written to the Java Console.

mailto:[e-mail], you should file your crasher as a separate bug.

Re : additional comment # 11

I don't believe my crasher is as a different bug, though I could be wrong.

With IE 5.1.5 the testcase, naturally, works for me.

With iCab 2.8.2 PPC English <http://www.icab-soft.de/download.html>, I do not
get further than the initial white screen with the alert "Initializing, please
wait".

I wonder if bug 154699 is involved here :

Using the specified URL, the applet loads on the page and is functional. Tested
with the 2002-10-14-03 trunk build under 10.2.1.

Comment 14

[Chris Petersen]

I can't reproduce this under the 2002-10-14-05 branch build. Tested under 10.2.1.

Comment 15

[Jean-Pierre Melkonian]

WFM now  on Mac 9.1 Build 2002100911

Comment 16

[Chris Petersen]

There is a problem under 10.1.5 using either the branch (2002-10-14-05) or trunk
(2002-10-16-08). Applet fails to load: Start - Applet not intialized.

Comment 17

[Chris Petersen]

I can't reproduce under 10.2.2 using the 2002-12-18-08 CFM trunk.

Comment 18

[Chris Petersen]

Confirming that is only occuring under 10.1.5 using the 2002-12-18-08 CFM trunk
build.
