Actual Results: freeze Expected Results: not freeze.

Did you start with a new profile?

works fine in Mozilla 1.5+ and Firebird for me. As #1 says, make sure you clear profile etc when doing a fresh install.

i just backed up my ~/.mozilla directory, and then deleted it and started the new mozilla. It asked me if i wanted to convert an existing netscape4 profile, and i said no. i created a new one, and used it. Mozilla behavior was the same. i have several operating systems on my computer, but it's my old redhat 6.2 where i have this problem. Newer versions of mozilla work fine in the other os's that i've tried, but the old redhat is my main OS, and i just use the other ones for testing software. I upgraded my glibc to a newer version a couple of months ago, hoping that would help with newer software. It did help with gtk2 software, but not with mozilla. i just remembered that i managed to compile a version of phoenix with cvs, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030604 Phoenix/0.5, that i can use for several minutes before it crashes, but i can't remember the build options i used. i can type url's in the bar several times before it freezes.

i just built from cvs this morning with no build options. so it was the debug build. i deleted my home/.mozilla directory, and ran it to watch the messages. i can load pages, but if i put my cursor in the url bar, and try to move the cursor, mozilla freezes. no debug message. this is where it freezes. i had to hit control-c to get the cursor back. /opt/mozilla/mozilla/dist/bin$ ./mozilla Type Manifest File: /opt/mozilla/mozilla/dist/bin/components/xpti.dat +++ JavaScript debugging hooks installed. nsNativeComponentLoader: autoregistering begins. nsNativeComponentLoader: autoregistering succeeded nNCL: registering deferred (0) WARNING: Error parsing GRE default preferences.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20031224 i am posting this from this morning's cvs build. like i said before, i can put url's in the bar, and type in forms, if i start mozilla before going online. it's a simple dial-up modem setup. if i exit now and restart, it would freeze when i tried to do this. i've had this problem for almost a year and i just discovered that mozilla works here, if i start it before going online. i was just hoping that might make it obvious where the problem is. i know there aren't that many people using this old of a version of linux. if anybody has a solid hunch of any libraries i could upgrade on this machine that would fix this, please let me know.

I have the same problem with Mandrake 9.2 (tried Mozilla 1.4 and 1.6). Works with
Galeon 1.3.8 (based on Mozilla). I guess you could try using Galeon instead.
Also, I used "killall -7 mozilla-bin" to force a segfault so I could do a back
trace (to see where the freeze came from) What I got was:
[john@localhost john]$ gdb -c core.2577

Looking on the internet the only explaination I could find for "Cannot access
memory at address ..." is that that memory has not been properly allocated by
the application (Stack-overflow?). Doesn't make any sense to me.

weird. i added comments at the bottom a while back, and they disappeared. disabling "find as you type" under advanced settings, keyboard navigation, fixes things. it's been a perfect sweet ride since.

This also happens under fedora core 2 with mozilla 1.6. I have tried reinstalling it, using new profiles, etc and still no avail.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
