User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204 Several of the web pages I've tried to access through the acm web site (http://www.acm.org) simply "hang" --- my browser times out and I do not get the requested information. This happens ONLY when I use a mozilla browser {Build ID: 2002032519-SuSE}. The same pages do not hang when I use IE (and an operating system which supports that browser). Specific pages include: http://www.acm.org/about_acm/acmorg.html http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/Registration.html (This second page hangs off the www.acm.org website and is used to register teams for the acm collegiate programming contest.) My university will likely discontinue IE support (long story, basically can't afford MS); so, to me, it's a more serious problem than the usual OS advocacy issues. In fact, I've already spent a reasonable amount of time eliminating (or trying to eliminate) other possible causes. Bottom line: I have not been able to access these pages through mozilla at all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit URL with Mozilla 2. Wait and wait 3. Go to step 2 Actual Results: Sometimes, the web site would visibly time out. Then, iI would try again. After twenty minutes or so of trying again and again, I would get frustrated and go to our aging microcomputer lab and turn on one of our dusty 486 machines with Windows 95. Using IE, I would be able to immediately load the desired page and visit the site. Very embarassing when repeatedly performed in front of students. They're not impressed with mozilla. Expected Results: I don't think there's a problem with Mozilla. The page should have loaded --- correctly or incorrectly --- within two or three minutes.
