Description

[Ben]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514

I have Win2K. running on Mozilla v1.7.  However, when I clicked on a link in the
URL above, like clicking on the picture of the page, a new window is created. 
But the new window does not respond, it appears to be frozen.  On closer
inspection in the task manager window, it is listed as running.  When I go back
to the original URL above and tried to click on another picture, a new windows
is again created and the same thing happens.  But each new window is reported as
running, even though they are obvious not responding.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=13-128-241&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE
2.click on any picture of the motherboard
3.a new window is created and it does not respond at all

Actual Results:  
New window does not respond

Expected Results:  
I should be able to browse as usual, but window is in  frozen state.

I have the browser extension installed, but I don't suppose this would cause the
problem, since I have been using the tab extension since v1.5

Additionally, when I tried to terminate anyone of the new windows through Task 
Manager, all instances of Mozilla is terminated including the original Mozilla 
instance that spawned the new windows.  Thanks.
