I only can ALT-CMD-ESC to abord the program.

language version.
I never had this with 1.2a !

Reproducible: Always

1. start Mozilla
2. browse several pages
3. the spinning wheel appears

Actual Results:  
Mozilla freezes

Expected Results:  
be able to continue browsing

Mozilla 1.3b does not exist yet.  The nightlys are labeled "1.3b", but they also
include a build id, which you did not list in the "Build Identifier" string. 
That build id is necessary to do anything with this bug (like to tell whether
it's a duplicate of any of the bugs that had such symptoms and were not fixed
till yesterday).

1.3b build ID: 2003012213

The problem started with the third last nighly build of Mozilla 1.3b !
Older builds worked seamless.

Please test a build from Jan 26 or later. A fix for the exact symptoms you
describe was checked in yesterday (and it was a fix for a recent regression).

The latest build for OS X is
mozilla-macosX-trunk.smi.bin               22-Jan-2003 18:28  17.4M 

I'll try tomorrow with the new build.
Thanks !

That's the FizzillaCFM build, which is no longer being maintained. You need to
transition to the FizzillaMach build ("MacMozilla-MachO.dmg.gz").

Thanks for the hint: the new build works perfect to me !
 MacMozilla-MachO.dmg.gz     

I only had noticed that the mozilla-macosX-trunk.smi.bin build was from 22 jan
2003, and wasn't upgraded anymore.
