Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Sergio Millich]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Problem appeared since new ADSL modem and  different firmware being used
(Alcatel Speedtouch 300), browser worked well with previous modem + firmware
(Pulsar PCI ADSL). Thunderbird 0.5 hangs as well. Mozilla 1.7 still works fine
and so does KMail. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Connect
2.Launch Firefox
3.Click in location bar and type

Actual Results:  
Browser just froze a long time. Have to kill it usually. 

Expected Results:  
Moved the cursor or typed letter or backspaced whichever.

Not theme related, although switching the theme suddenly helped (from any to
modern, not all tested), I could type. Then, upon relaunching, the problem was
still there, with modern theme or any other.  My PC's configuration is Pentium 4
1.9 GHz (Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo 600) 512 Mb Ram running  Suse Linux 8.2.

Reporter:  does this happen with a new profile and newer build?

Nothing of this sort has ever happened to me, regardless of modem or router
firmware. Seems like this has only happened to the reporter.

I don't see this.  No reply from reporter for months.
