I am running on a dell inspiron 5000e laptop. win2k sp3. 256 mb ram. I will

i have  unchecked the "open requested window", "move or resize existing
windows", "raise or lower windows" and "hide the status bar" check boxes. also
cache checking is set to "every time i view the page"

Do you still crash whe upgrading to Flash 6 ?

Confirm, WinNT 4.0 SP6, 2002120304, crashes repeatedly on http://www.cnn.com/
confirm other "random" crashes on cnn.com pages with various recent builds

[Michael Lefevre]

original talkbacks will now have expired. can someone (Moiz?) reproduce this
with a recent build of mozilla, and post another talkback ID? thanks.

[Tristan Seligmann]

This works for me. Win2K SP3, 2003020208, Flash 6 (is Flash actually in use on
this page? I don't see it...)

I'm new to this, sorry if redundant.  I just downloaded Mozilla 1.3 B from
tucows (shows Build ID: 2003021008 in the title bar).  Windows 98 on PII400. 
The main http://www.cnn.com page is fine for me.  However, Mozilla hangs if I
try to read anything other than the main page (e.g. I click on a story like
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/05/sprj.irq.main/index.html ).  No error
message, I have to bring up the task manager and "End Task" to get going again.

Dennis, that is bug 192294. Please read the release notes.

Resolving WFm since no one (including me) can reproduce this crash.
