178797 - browser locks up, have to kill with -9

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[robin mach]

i ain't smart enough to give any real debugging info here as it just locks the
browser (all open browser windows) stone cold. no error messages, no clues. i
realize this is probably a known bug, but i couldn't find any specific
references to it in bugzilla.

the URL in question is http://www.mobileedge.co.uk

i can open this page successfully with netscape 4.71

i'm running build 2002101612

Which version of the Flash plugin are you using in Netscape?  What version are
you using in Mozilla?  Do you have music playing or arts or something like that
running when this happens?

Hmm... does the freeze also happen with the Flash 6 beta?
