Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 128961

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[fffrankk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

Clicking on this url-link (see above) from the major site :
http://www.faltplatte.de/html/0101_wbs7.html - click on tab "Vertrieb" (lower
left of the page)  makes the browser freeze completely. Firebird cannot be
closed by any means, the computer cannot be rebooted or shut down normally. I
have to reset the whole machine. After booting the machine anew, DiskDoctor has
to fix lost clusters, invalid entries and some things more. It really **** up
the whole system. With IE 6 sp1 the link can be clicked normally and the page
behind it gets displayed (sure : with errors on page)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.faltplatte.de/html/0101_wbs7.html
2.Find the link that sais "VERTRIEB" (5th from the bottom - on the very left)
3.Click on this link

Actual Results:  
Browser crashes, can't be closed, Windows can't shut down normally.

Expected Results:  
Simply display the page behind the link and report there are some errors on it

What happens if you go to Tools -> Options -> Web Features and uncheck Load
Images before you click on that "Vertrieb" link?

Do you have a Nvidia graphic card? Try upgrading to new drivers.

Works for me using the 20030729 build on W2K.
Please try a current nightly with a fresh profile as detailed in
http://firebird.bric.de/index.php?page=bugs

To Hasse : Yes .. i have Nvidia TNT2 M64 and after updating the drivers the page
loads fine. Also loading the page without the pictures does work. Just - what
does IE do that it can load the page without the updated drivers ?

To Simon (Try a nightly built) : I might check that later (if i'm in the mood to
downgrade my drivers again). So far the new drivers work, although i don't think
it's wise to make a browser that only works with the latest updates of whatever
a computer's made of. Some folks don't even know what drivers are ...

My profile was brandnew. Anytime i try a new built of Firebird, i delete all
the files i have in the programm- and the Phoenix-folders. I only reuse the
Bookmark.html, cause sorting the imported bookmarks is a bitch (hope they
fix that soon). Although i found out that cutting and pasting the bookmarks
will get them in alphabetical order after they've been moved back and forth
from one folder to the other once.

To gode (WFM with linux) : ??? I don't get the sense of this message ...
