168795 - Browser freezes when I view the page source of my exported bookmarks

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: View Source, defect)

Description

[Robert Stein]

My Browser freezes every time I try to view the Page Source of my Bookmarks I
exported minutes ago.

I Use Mozilla 1.2a (Build ID2002091014) on a Win 98 Second Edition system.

Here is a detailed description:

First go to "Bookmarks/Manage Bookmarks…"
Then Export the Bookmarks by "Tools/Export…"
View the File in your Browser and try to view the Page Source ("View/Page Source2)

At this moment all opened Mozilla Windows freezing and you can only close the
Application by pressing Alt-Strg-Delete and then "Kill Task".
I Don’t know exactly how the Buttons are labelled in the English Version of Win 98.

Robert Stein.

Robert, how big is your exported "bookmarks.htm" file?
Could you attach it to this bug report?

I found out that my Browser freezes each Time I try to view the Page Source of
any page.

My Mozilla 1.2a installation is a couple of days old and perhaps it wasn’t very
clever only to update the old 1.1 version.

I think I’ll deinstall this version and try to install it a second time. 
But this time clean.

P.S.
My exported bookmarks.html has a size of 31.540 bytes.

I tried to reinstall Mozilla but the bug was still the same.
Then I created a new Profile and now everything is ok.

My old Profile was in a Folder called "Users50". It is an old Profile I used
with my Netscape 6.2
But I never had Problems with it.
My new Profile is in a folder called "Profiles".

I will try to find out what exactly the differences are between the two
profiles. Perhaps I can tell then why the function "Page Source" always crashes
with my old profile.

I have the same problem.  Viewing source freezes the browser every time.  It 
did not do this until I upgraded to 1.2.1.  Unfortunately, I don't remember 
what build I was running previusly.  I think it was a nightly from after 1.2b, 
but before 1.2.  I am running Windows XP.

I looked in the windows task manager to see what kind of resources mozilla was 
using when this happens and it is consistently 95-99% cpu and the memory usage 
just climbs at about 1 meg every couple seconds until I kill it.
