226166 - Browser will hang when switching to a profile which does not configure proxy correctly

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Leon Sha]

Make sure you are using GTK2 built mozilla.

1.start browser with default profile, and configure the proxy correctly so that
we can browse the web.
2.create another profile, such as "test",with wrong proxy setting and the home
page is set as defaultly, mozilla.org.
3.choose Tools->switch profile.., select the "test" profile and double click.
4.The browser will restart and change to the "test" profile and a dialog will
jump out saying"www.mozilla.org can not be found....", and the browser is frozen.
5.It is found that this case will reproduce most of the times.

Another testcase for this bug which will occur 100% time.

1. start browser with default profile, and configure the homepage to "abb:" and
set the starup page as homepage.
2. switch to another profile.
3. switch back. You will see the dialog: abb is not a registered protocl.
4. Mozilla hang.

If mozilla did not hang, try again.

  I can repro the case in comment 1 without switching profiles. After step 1,
quit Mozilla. Now, launch again. I get the dialog with "abb is not a registered
protocol" and the app is hung.
  Here's the interesting part: if I switch to another app, then bring Mozilla
back to the foreground, I can click OK and it's no longer hung. This is on OS X.
I'd be curious to know if the switch out and back condition occurs on other
platforms.

I see this in my terminal.
Is this the problem?

This bug disappers on mozilla 1.7.
So suggest closed it.
