Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 111944

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Raymond A. Chamberlin]

That's it.  These pages are readily accessible with Netscape 4.79.

In general, I don't understand what advantages Mozilla is trying to achieve.  So 
far it seems to be just a quite defective version of Netscape, is vastly slower 
and full of serious bugs.  I'm not going to try any alpha versions to see if any 
clear up these problems, because they include attempts at things I have no need 
of, and I have enough problems with your beta versions.  I wish you would design 
in a very CLEAN way to avoid all dealings with any profile management, no matter 
from what client I try to activate the Mozilla Web browser from. Only I, as only 
one user profile, wish to use my machine.

Crashes with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 (Mac
OS 9.1). Adding keyword "crash".

One way to reproduce a crash:

1)Go to http://www.oaklandacura.com/
2)Hover over the links in the left (red) menu
3) Mozilla crashes

Talkbacks: TB12322657K, TB12322420W and TB12322243H (last talkback from crash
when I was using "View" - "Page info" when visiting site) My build is rather old
- leaving confirmation and an eventually change of platform/OS to someone else.

WFM Build 2002100317 nightly on Windows NT.

I'm confirming the crash with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2b)
Gecko/20021015, build ID 2002101508. Talkback ID: TB 126082606. Marking NEW.
Modifying summary. Changing Platform/OS to all (from PC/Win98), but I wonder if
the crash is mac-only. Feel free to alter my Platform/OS changes.

The Mac response described here is different.  My Win98SE (Moz 1.1b) response
was total failure to disply anything, with a fixed diagonal-arrow cursor. 
Attempt to simply close Mozilla with Alt-Ctrl-Del causes problems in or crash of
Windows.

What is unique at this Website that Mozilla can't handle?

Ray, please try a more recent build  and see if the problem persists. You can
find the latest builds at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/.

what version of the java plugin are you using?  the red menu is the fphover java
applet, which is known to crash older versions of the java plugin:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Browser&component=OJI&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=fphover&&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=crash

worksforme with linux trunk build 20021015 and java plugin 1.4.0

reassign

Comment 8

[Stefan [:stefanh]]

In other words - probably a dupe of some other bug. Or WFM. Seems like I messed
it up... Doesn't crash for me anymore.  Just some flickering. Strange - I
downloaded the latest MRJ for Mac classic and installed it. But it had the same
version number as the previous one. 

Comment 9

[Raymond A. Chamberlin]

I downloaded Moz 1.2b into my Win98SE with Java Plug-in 1.3.1_02.  This page
still freezes Moz.  For some reason, the second out of 5 times the page worked.
 I cleared the caches after that run.  Isn't Moz supposed to work with this
version of Java?

Ray, your hang might be related to bug 111944 "JRE 1.3.1 (01a upwards) hangs
with fphover.class"

Could you get a later plug-in (http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/)?

Comment 12

[Joshua Xia]

I test this bug on Solaris:

Mozilla 1.2b
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021021
and
Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.2
Using JRE version 1.4.2-internal Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

No hang happened

I'm sure I sent the first comment here the other day, but I don't see it here. 
I installed Java2 JRE 1.4.1_01 into Moz 1.2b in Win98SE and found that I no
longer had any problem with the site that was previously subject to this bug.

I was assume, then, that this bug is dead.

(After I removed all of Java1 JRE from my drive except some stuff in the Windows
Registry, I was getting a lost-file message each time I started Windows -- until
Windows Update had me reinstall its March-4-02 security patch; whereafter, that
problem ceased.)

Changing platform back to original, modifying summary & keywords since my
mac-issue probably belongs/belonged somewhere else... 

Comment 15

[Stefan [:stefanh]]

Reopen bug to be able to dupe.
