Can you explain what do you mean with hang ?
Do you mean that mozilla doesn't respond or that mozilla doesn't load the search
results ?

It displays "Waiting for www.amazon.com" in the status bar. Nothing happens. The
page never changes. But the browser does respond. It doesn't crash or anything.
I can click on a link and it will go. It's just the search that never gets made.

Could be, but I can't reproduce bug 195630 here.

Just thought I'd add that a few others at the mozillazine forums have described
the same problem. It's been suggested that it's linked to tabbrowser extensions.
I have that extension installed. Perhaps someone could verify if there is indeed
a dependency here?

[Chris Casciano]

any chance that you have livehttpheaders extension installed? That seemed to be
the problem in bug 187794.

I can confirm that with tabbed browsing extensions (version 1.6.2003041303)
enabled on my build of phoenix (built circa 20030414) then amazon searches (and
one other web site that I can't remember right now) fail. When I disable that
extension, and restart, then the searches go just fine. I didn't have this with
an earlier build of phoenix (from sometime late march?) and with an earlier
tabbed browsie extension (but can't remember that version, sorry, my laptop hard
drive goofed up).
