WFM - 8 hours old CVS based trunk Firebird build.

Can you try with a Mozilla 1.5rc1 build ?

I seem to get a hang with 1.5rc1 on Win2k.  Will try a clean install to check.

Comment 6

[u63580]

A reinstall seems to solve the problem for me.  Must be a file being left behind
somewhere.

Comment 7

[u63580]

Having just posted comment 6, I tried reloading the page (just to check), and
Mozilla hung again.  A bit of testing seems to indicate that I can open the page
once, but reloading causes a reliable hang.

hangs on Win98SE with 1.5RC1, latest 1.4.1 (from today), 1.3.1, others not tested.
Then I right-clicked on the URL:, and did 'Save Link Target As', without problems.
Loading the saved file locally works, though not all is displayed, as I saved
HTML only.
I saved the complete page using Opera, and it displays fine in Mozilla loaded
locally. Perhaps Mozilla is hanging because of the two Microsoft Flash-Ads on
this page?

Flash version 6.0 r79

in comment #8 I always got a hang, only testing this URL, on Win98SE, XP1600+
- with 1.5RC1 installed in a new directory, using a fresh created profile (at
end of installation)
- with 1.4.1 from today installed in a new directory, also (another) fresh
profile, created at end of installation.
- with 1.3.1, using its profile.

now testing on Win98, Celeron333, only 96 MB, Mozilla BuildID 2003091704
Loaded firsttime, normal ad at the top, Microsoft Flash ad at the left side.
Could save that page complete.
Hang on reload.
I changed my prefs to blocking images, to blocking cookies, to blocking
Javascript, it always was hanging.
The saved page loads normally.
