Works for me 20030924 PC/WinXP

Please retry in a more current nightly or milestone (like 1.5 release candidate 2).

The page has a Flash app; what version of Flash are you using?  If it's older,
that should be updated as well.

I get a Yahoo 'the page could not be found' page.. reporter: can you provide a
testcase of the original problem ? thanks.

Well I did a complete reformat/reinstall on my Win98 system, the page, as
mentioned, has disappeared. A lot of the Flash problems I was having when I
updated Mozilla (before the reformat/reinstall) have gone away, however, the
browser still totally locks up on some wsj.com pages which are very, very likely
to be flash based. I didn't have the problem before updating both Mozilla and
Flash.
