215304 - Constant reload of page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 178595

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[David Snyder]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

The above pages are constantly reloaded if the above pages are displayed as the
current tab.  If the tab they are on is behind some other tabs, the tab (and
page) gets reloaded when the current tab gets changed or reloaded.  The
javascript: console reports the following error with the bsdvault.net page:

Error: Layer is not defined
Source File: http://bsdvault.net/scroller.js

BTW, turning off JS in the Tools|Options stops the pages from constantly reloading.

BTW2, this error is also similar to bug #132637 and #154154, but these bugs were
for the full-Moz and not Firebird alone.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on JS in the Tools|Options
2. Go to either of the above pages
3.

Actual Results:  
The pages constantly reloaded.

Expected Results:  
The page should have just loaded once.

This bug is also present in the Firebird0.6.1 for Linux.

WFM using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030806
Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+
I also don't see the mentioned error message in the console...

David, have you got any themes installed? Is this behaviour also reproducible
using latest version of FB using a vanilla profile?

Unable to produce the reloading bug with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0;
en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030807 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+ [one of the FB
nightly-builds].  I had the Orbit3+1 theme loaded on the FB that I reported the
bug on, but I can't load the theme now (says it's an older theme and can't be
loaded to this build of FB).  I also had the x plug-in installed (with a minor
tweak on my part) with the following modified prefs.js:

user_pref("accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound", false);
user_pref("browser.blink_allowed", false);
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.added_static_root", true);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.display.screen_resolution", 96);
user_pref("browser.download.dir", "C:\\WINNT\\Profiles\\dsnyder\\Desktop");
user_pref("browser.download.progressDnldDialog.keepAlive", false);
user_pref("browser.search.defaultengine",
"engine://C%3A%5CProgram%20Files%5CMozillaFirebird%5Csearchplugins%5Cgoogle.src");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://ptoweb/");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "rv:1.5b");
user_pref("browser.tabs.autoHide", false);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_flip", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_move_resize", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.status", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);
user_pref("general.skins.removelist.morbit/0.0.7_1.3", "true");
user_pref("intl.charsetmenu.browser.cache", "ISO-8859-15, windows-1252, UTF-8,
ISO-8859-1");
user_pref("network.cookie.enableForCurrentSessionOnly", true);
user_pref("network.cookie.enableForOriginatingWebsiteOnly", true);
user_pref("network.cookie.warnAboutCookies", true);
user_pref("network.ftp.anonymous_password", "[e-mail]");
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.firstrequest", true);
user_pref("network.image.imageBehavior", 0);
user_pref("prefs.converted-to-utf8", true);
user_pref("privacy.popups.firstTime", false);
user_pref("signon.SignonFileName", "59498421.s");
user_pref("timebomb.first_launch_time", "1059497936812176");
user_pref("update_notifications.provider.0.last_checked", 1060252749);
user_pref("wallet.caveat", true);

Since this bug can't be reproduced with the latest build of FB, it seems to be
cured and might as well as be closed.

Since problem occured using orbit theme I suppose this bug to be a duplicate of
bug #178595.

=> tweaking summary since this has nothing to do with JavaScript and resolving
accordingly!

btw: bug #132637 is indeed a tech evangelism issue!
