187021 - Mozilla begins using 100% CPU and soon becomes unusable

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Paolo Maero]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When visualizing the site the browser begins using near 100% CPU and
increasinlgy stop responding to user actions. In half a minute the "spinning
wheel" of Mac OS X is constantly on and the browser accept no more actions,
forcing me to kill the browser process.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access this site
2. Wait 30 seconds
3. Try to do anything...

Actual Results:  
The browser is spending 100% of its time in some strnage loops

Expected Results:  
Continue being responsive (as MSIE does on the same site)

I've installed the Macromedia Flash and Shockwave players (the last one
downloaded today from the Macromedia site)

Paolo, the URL http://www.ocia.net/reviews/8500/8500.shtml which you provided
works for me in Mozilla 1.2.1 release, OS X 10.2.3, on a G3/400.

I don't have the full Shockwave installed though, only Flash.

WorksForMe using FizzillaMach/2003021903. Paolo, can you still reproduce this
problem using a current nightly build?

Comment 3

[Mikael Parknert]

Reporter: Can you reproduce this bug with a recent build of Mozilla (for
example, 1.4rc3)? 

If so, then please comment again with details. 
If not, then please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks.

Paolo: I am not able to reproduce this bug using: 
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031208. 

I am going to resolve this bug as WFM. If you are still seeing the issue on a
newer build, then you can reopen the bug.  Thanks.
