User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Using the XHTML-compliant "<hr />" in bookmarks.html causes Mozilla to freeze on startup, presumably when it is loading the bookmarks.html file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use <hr /> in bookmarks.html instead of <hr>. 2. Start Mozilla. Actual Results: Mozilla freezes on startup. Windows Task Manager shows Mozilla is maxing out CPU. Expected Results: Start normally. Mozilla should not require that bookmarks file use outdated HTML tags.
The format of the file, which begins with: <!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1> <!-- This is an automatically generated file. It will be read and overwritten. DO NOT EDIT! --> is not xhtml.
