Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 218512

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Hervé Gourmelon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

On LinuxInsider's page, when I try to read any of the articles, whether opening
it in a separate tab, a separate window, or just following the link, my browser
seems to hang. The Win2K task manager displays a high CPU usage for Mozilla as
well. BTW, I'm using plugin Shockwave Flash 7.0 r14.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open main page http://www.linuxinsider.com/
2. Click one of the [More...] links under the article abstracts.
3. Mozilla hangs up.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla hangs up.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have opened the link correctly, and continued to respond.

Your build is too old to report bugs on.
