213706 - Browser reports "stopped" in lower left after several hours dormant on nightly build from 7/21

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[arthur seltzer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; Alexa Toolbar)
Build Identifier: 

This may be hard to reproduce as it may be time dependent, but Firebird 
indicated "stopped" in the lower left and further browsing would not occur. 
The interface remained active and the tab did display "loading". I had two 
Firebird windows running at the time, one with two tabs, one with only one. 
All tabs in both windows were equally unresponsive. I brought up IE just to 
rule out a connection issue and browsing was fine. I then closed both Firebird 
windows, but a Mozilla task still remained open according to Window task 
manager, under processes. I installed the build from 7/23 and I'm running 
fine, but I won't know if this problem exists unless I leave Firebird idle for 
several hours or overnight.

One other factor could be that one window was running an intro animation which 
may or may not have influenced the "stopped" state. That site 
was "www.denon.com" and the animation was still running despite the "stopped" 
indication.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Would expect a way to restart the engine with reloading the application, or 
would not expect a permanent Stop state to occur

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031027
Firebird/0.7+
WinXP SP1

Steps to reproduce.
1. Make sure status bar is showing
2. Open at least 2 tabs
2. Enter/select a URL
3. Stop the page before it loads completely
4. Notice that the status bar displays stopped in all tabs 
Note this works with most status bar text.  If you have a page that has not
loaded "Transferring data from foo.org" will be displayed in the status bar for
all tabs.  

Expected behavior.
When tab is selected only that tab's status bar information is displayed.

Mozilla 1.5 has close to expected behavior. If one selects the second tab the
stopped text is not displayed but when you select the 1st tab again stopped is
not remembered, the status bar is blank.  One would expect to still see stopped
displayed when going back to the first tab.

I was able to reproduce this bug.  The status bar text appears to be whatever
tab was last used.  If I open 2 tabs and do something in tab A its status text
will appear in tab B's status bar when I switch to tab B.

Is the problem that it was unresponsive or that it had the status from another
window/tab?  The latter is a known bug.

Animations running != Stopped

I have left my browser idle overnight and never experienced a problem.
