Not sure if it was the 10.3.5 update or was the Java update that just came out last day or two. Worked fine before this (was using older Mozilla 1.7 and also is still a problem now too on the latest 1.8). Firebird has same issue. After accessing the specified web site, it appears some java is loading. After this, all i get is the color spinning wheel for a cursor. have to kill Mozilla/Firebird to get out of. Note that Safari still works fine even after the Mac updates. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch specified URL 2. Notice that Java content is loading 3. Browser is hung with spinning color wheel cursor. Actual Results: browser is hung. have to kill browser app to quit. Expected Results: web page should come up giving menu options
I have found the roughly the same thing. Java has some big hanging bugs with Mozilla and Firefox on Mac OS 10.3.5 (Build 7M34). The following pops up a java ssh window. The window is functional until you try to resize it: <http://www.indigita.com/login>. After resizing the window, the browser hangs and shows the spinning multicolored "beachball" cursor. I have tested with the following browsers: Firefox 0.9.3 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3 Firefox 0.10 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10 Mozilla 1.7.2 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803 Mozilla 1.7.3 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910 They all behave the same way.
I tried the url and it worked for me. Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10 The applet loads a little slow but the same speed as it does in Safari. java version "1.4.2_04" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-135) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-36, mixed mode) What version of Java are you using? Can you reproduce it with a fresh profile?
I'm not sure which one of us you were responding to. I'll answer for myself. The <http://www.indigita.com/login> consistently fails for me (*only* when you resize the window). Safari works for me but mozilla and firefox do not. See Comment #1 for my version details. I created a fresh profile in mozilla and the problem still occurs. Where do I find those Java version numbers so I can report them?

I got the Java version by typing java -version in the Terminal application. You can also get the information in Apple System Profiler (About this Mac > More Info) and in the Software>Applications section you get get information about Java as well.
Thanks, though I didn't see anything good about java in system profiles--just the utilities in the Applications folder. Anyway, here's the command line output: $ java -version java version "1.4.2_05" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.3) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode) I just got a new Java on Software Update today--but it didn't affect the problem. This happens on my work computer and my home computer, FYI, so it's not like it's just one messed up computer. I'll try on some other macs around here and see what happens.

Ok, I've got a titanium powerbook here that is running: Mac OS X 10.3.5 (7M34) java version "1.4.2_05" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode) and both Firefox 0.10.1 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 Mozilla 1.6 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 work just fine. So there's something about my other machines that makes mozilla not like Java, but like others have pointed out, it isn't universal.
I was able to reproduce. Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040927 Firefox/0.10.1 Steps to reproduce: 1) Go to http://www.indigita.com/login 2) Click on Cancel when asked to login 3) Wait until a new window pops up 4) Resize the new popup window which contains a Java application.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
But after restarting my browser and trying again. It wouldn't reproduce. This is one crazy bug.
> Steps to reproduce: > 1) Go to http://www.indigita.com/login > 2) Click on Cancel when asked to login oops, sorry about that password thing. I moved the picture to a non password protected area. You shouldn't need step 2 any more.

> At http://worldometers.info/ ... This isn't a Java issue ... or at least Java isn't an issue WRT this site. The problem happens even with Java disabled. Tested using the same nightly on OS X 10.3.8. I get the same results with Firefox 1.0 and Mozilla 1.7.5. No problem with Safari. No problem with Firefox 1.0 or Mozilla 1.7.5 on Linux (SuSE Linux 9.2).
Not sure if this is java related or another problem, but like the site in comment #12 going to http://www.emusic.com/promo.html causes browser to freeze. If mouse button is held down (can be in the finder or another application) the graphic spins.
After a little more investigation I determined that the sites I'm having problems with are Flash sites, not java. Still a major problem. flash player/plugin shockwave flash 7.0.24.0 Moz 1.8b2 build 20050305 see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285275
From a subpage of http://www.puzzlebeast.com/ on: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7 I know the build is old, but I'm either reproducind this bug, an unknown bug caused by an extension, or a new bug. When I visit any Java site in FF, the browser is inoperable during loading (especially when doing mulitple transfers during dialup.) Is this the same or different? (It's probably related...)

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 I can reproduce this here. Firefox freezes but does *not* consume lot of cpu usage. I get this error serveral times a day.
Whatever this is, it's not Java related -- there are no Java applets on this page.
(In reply to comment #19) > Whatever this is, it's not Java related -- there are no Java applets on this > page. I'm pretty sure it's Flash. I've been having this problem with Mozilla builds for a while. I'm using 7.11 now, but it was happening to me using 7.2 (I jumped from 7.2 to 7.11). It's always with Flash animations, almost always with some element of the animation repeating. The emusic site has a bunch of repeating animation, and the worldometers site mentioned above has a Flash animated logo. I've also had the behavior mentioned above where pressing the mouse button "ends" the freeze. Mozilla will freeze up and the animations will stop. When I click my mouse the animation will play a little (I don't know how many frames). If I hold down the mouse button, the animation will continue to play. When the problem occurs I cannot switch tabs, or do anything on the page, or even close the tab. Sometimes if I click the close tab icon and then hold the mouse button long enough (anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes) Mozilla will catch up and close the tab. Sometimes I can also use the extension that lets me remove objects to kill the flash item. In either case, even with the animation gone, I still find Mozilla has performance issues until I restart. The same sites work fine in Safari. Currently, I'm running: Mozilla 1.7.11 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.11) Gecko/20050727 OS X 10.3.9 With the newest version of Flash 8 (although Flash 7 had the same problems).
anyone still see this? reporter email address is dead.
I'm not seeing it anymore.
=> WFM per comment 22 please reopen if anyone still sees problem
