Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 215031

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Thomas Sprinzing]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030807 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+

I unzipped FB, started it and it crashed. It tried to open some page - but we
live behind a proxy. NO DNS around. 
First it crashed rasmon - then FB croaks itself.


NB: why does the NETSCAPE report thing come up here? Mozilla still tangled up
with them?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. get yorself behind proxy
2.unpack Firebird
3. Start Firebird
--- bang

Actual Results:  
as above: first the rasmon crashed, then Dr. dubyah paid me a visit.

Expected Results:  
Display some "Name could not be resolved" error

If you have a slow pc as i and press Stop quick enough, Firebird will run
smoothly. Now configure the Proxy and then ... actually i'm filling this form
with  firebird.

Workaround could be delivering Firebird with no preset Homepage - so it does not
try to open a page upfront.
