User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212 This issue has been observed with Mozilla versions 1.0.1, 1.2.1, and the 1.3a Alpha that I am now running, all on Windows 2000. I was not able to reproduce it on any version of Mozilla running on GNU/Linux. If you click on or type in any URL at http://www.ilug-cal.org/, Mozilla does not actually display the page; it stays on the previous one. If you right-click on the URL and choose "Open in new window", then you get a blank Web page with the following HTML source: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><title></title></head><body></body></html> Here is another URL that shows the same issue, along with the source code that Mozilla shows for it: http://www.bizreport.com/article.php?art_id=4088&PHPSESSID=2d5a0caf6441a18649d5fdefe54dbaa5 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><title></title></head><body></body></html> These pages do display properly with MS Internet Explorer 5.0. They also display properly with any version of Mozilla that I've tried on GNU/Linux (Red Hat 7.2 and 7.3). The Webmaster for http://www.ilug-cal.org/ admins the entire site with Mozilla on GNU/Linux with success: "Funny - I am using mozilla to admin the entire site - I do not have any problems My version Mozilla 1.0.1 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020706" I can repro this issue at any time with the above two URLs. Whether I have Java, JavaScript, or cookies turned on or off does not appear to matter; I get the same results regardless of these three settings. Internet Explorer displays the pages properly without Java, JavaScript, or cookies. I have not tried it with any version of Win32 Netscape at this point. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type in http://www.ilug-cal.org/ and hit Return. That'll do it. 2. Type in http://www.bizreport.com/ and hit Return. That'll do it, too. Alternately, head to http://www.linux.org, right-click on the "Developers turn to Linux, stunt Microsoft growth" (it's currently on the first page, dated 2003-01-28), select "Open link in new window" or "Open link in new tab", and that'll do it. Then you get to see the HTML source with the empty body that I describe in "Details". Actual Results: When I typed in either of those URLs, Mozilla's animated "Loading page" icon in the upper-right corner started moving like it always does, but I remained at the page that it had been displaying, instead of the new URL that I had typed in. Expected Results: Mozilla should have displayed the pages at those URLs that I typed in instead of remaining at the page I was at. When I tried to open those pages in a new window or new tab, Mozilla should display the Web page properly instead of one with an empty body. I always use the default (classic) theme with all versions of Mozilla on Win32. Most Web pages to which I surf display just fine. I nonetheless classified this as "major" because if any tool cannot completely execute its primary mission (in this case, the display of Web pages), then it proves non-useful by definition. It's like a C compiler that breaks printf() when preceded immediately by a scanf(). I've seen it happen only on Win32. Since well over 90% of desktops run Windows, this becomes a problem.

WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-AT; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030127
WFM, current CVS, Linux. Reporter: Are you behind some sort of proxy? If yes: Does the behaviour change if you set preferences for Advanced/HTTP networking to HTTP 1.0 ?
I can verify it too, here at Linux, with both URLs in steps to reproduce Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210 It is very annoying bug, please take care about it! It doesn't happen with Galeon though!!!! Another URL to check is: http://www.ubsoft.de/shop/home.asp Mozilla shows only the top of the page. Click at "Produkte" - nothing happens. I try it with HTTP 1.0/1.1 without proxy.
Please consider this kind of bugs! Search for "page load" or "page display" - you'll see A LOT OF bugs about "page doesn't load at all". It is not about page being displayed uncorrect because of bad layout - there are a lot of pages where mozilla just display nothing - no error, no blank page. A hour glass spins a while and stops, without page being refreshed. I tried it now eith 1.4rc1 and rc2 and nightly build for 26.06.2003 - it is still there! Another test url is: http://playmyth.net/ This loads under Windows, not under Linux. Only favicon changes to that of page, the page remains with old contents.
Are people still seeing this bug on recent Mozilla builds? If so, have you tried the suggestion that R.K.Aa gave to change HTTP to 1.0 and disabling pipelining under Advanced...HTTP Networking in preferences? If neither of those helps, I can also suggest the standard line of deleting your entire Mozilla install directory (not just uninstall from the control panel). Please let us know if after these steps, the bug remains. Thank you.
WFM also with pipelining with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Rainer
Still there with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030827 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 The http://playmyth.net/ works by now. Another address which doesn't work is http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/9/1/293 With/Without pipelining, http 1.0/1.1 with proxy To jhenry@ccs.neu.edu (Jon Herny) what is the recommended standard line? rpm -e rpm -i Should I start with empty profile also?
I'm sorry to say I don't use linux much, so I don't have a good answer about the rpm command. Doing a quick google search though, it looks like doing rpm -e, and then also explicitly deleting the mozilla install dir (if rpm -e does not do it for you), followed by an rpm -i, would do the trick. I also believe that you can start Mozilla with the -p command line option to create a new profile (without deleting the old one) to see if a clean profile will eliminate the problem.
Well, I found something that ( for me ) partialy cures this bug. It has something to do with IPv6. I found it at SUSE linux mailing list. If I comment alias net-pf-10 ipv6 in /etc/modules.conf and let alias net-pf-10 off (supposedly shutting IPv6 off?, you need to reboot after that) then I'm able to see all pages mentioned in this bug besides of http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/9/1/293
Checking in again...is anyone, and specifically Konstantin, seeing this bug after disabling IPv6? Does that one specific page still not load for you, or has this cleared up entirely? Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
