User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030727

Regardless of if JavaScript is turned on or not (via preferences), Mozilla
always downloads JavaScripts external to the HTML page being loaded.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Erase the cache directory (before starting Mozilla). (optional)
2. Load Mozilla.
3. Turn off JavaScript in the Advanced Scripts & Plugins preferences page
("Enable JavaScript for"..."Navigator").
4. Go to a page that uses external JavaScripts (like the one referenced).
5. Note that the browser connects to another server for the JavaScript. (In
this case, an ad server).
6. Close Mozilla when the page has loaded.
7. Check the cache directory's contents.
Actual Results:
Mozilla loaded an ad JavaScript when no JavaScripts were being run ("Enable
JavaScript for"..."Navigator" was off) and placed the JavaScript downloaded into
the cache.
As a side note, it slows down my MODEM transfers and delays the display of the
page until it gets the JavaScript. Add in sloooow DNS lookups for the server
hosting the JavaScript... and (often) a slow JavaScript-hosting server... Eeek.
Expected Results:
It should not have loaded the referenced JavaScripts -- why would I want to
download JavaScripts when I'm not going to do anything with them?

Marking Verified Duplicate. However, I'm a little puzzled by the dates here. Bug 66857 was marked Fixed on 2003-07-24, yet sandreas41@yahoo.com's build id is 20030727. sandreas41@yahoo.com: could you try a current build (2003-09-xx) and see if the problem still exists? If so, please re-open bug 66857. This is not a JavaScript Engine issue; thanks -
