19236 - M11 Apprunner freezes at splash screen on Mac OS 9

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[MikeS]

I tried to launch the M11 apprunner on Mac OS 9. On three attempts it caused a freeze at the Mozilla splash screen.

 The cursor will be active but clicks will not register and you can not execute a force quit or a soft system restart. I can bring up a debug prompt via command+power but once I input a single letter it will become a full freeze. (Note: I'm not a dev I just picked up the debug prompt tip)

 I thought Kaleidsoscope may have been a culprit so I disabled it at start-up and tried again to the same result. I gave mozilla more than 5 minutes to load before determineing it was a freeze.

 The mozilla registry in the prefs folder was not present nor was the Mozilla folder in the documents folder. I did not have the npjava plug-in in any netscape directories.

Reassigning all of leger's unscreened Browser-General bugs to [e-mail]
for pre-screening and triage.

MikeS: Please try with the latest M13 nightly build and see if the problem is
still there. Something that was wrong with M11 may have been fixed by now.

I can't find any related freezing bugs on the Mac platform, and this bug is for
an old binary (M11), so I'm assigning a "worksforme" designation since the Mac
builds are not freezing generally nowadays.

I did try M13 and the freeze is no longer present. I posted the bug in hopes that it would be resolved in a later build and that

is was. You guys/gals are doing a great job and I'm sure the finished product will be spectacular.
