(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Len Budney]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020826

I directed the browser to <http://www.grinderguy.com/>, and the browser barely
begins to render something when it locks up solid. The display stops updating
completely; the browser doesn't respond to any keystrokes or clicks, and the
Windows task manager describes the process as "not responding". This condition
persists until I kill the browser using task manager.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to <http://www.grinderguy.com/>.

Actual Results:  
The browser completely freezes.

Expected Results:  
Something. Anything. Not lock up.

Reporter: your Mozilla build is too old to report bugs for now. Please upgrade
to Mozilla 1.2b, or try latest nightly build. 

This page utilizes some Java applets. Do you have Java JRE installed? What version?

[Wesha]

As per personal e-mail from reporter, JRE is 1.3.1

Since Leonard's firewall rejects my mail, I post the reply here...

> OK. I thought I had the latest stable version, though.

That might be true, but since August, a few hundreed bugs have been fixed, maybe
including yours. So it would make sense to see if it's fixed already, right?

Please back up your profile data before reinstalling Moizlla, just in case.

please upgrade to 1.4.whatever, 1.3.* had some bugs that caused such a freezing.

Re-open if issue persists with JRE 1.4.x
