265483 - slow down my computer, then crash after a few minutes

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Pascal MICHEL]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

After installing Firefox 1.0, my computer became very slow everytime I opened 
Firefox, then after a few minutes I experienced several crashes even after 
unistalling and reinstalling Firefox. I am really disappointed as Firefox 0.8 
worked very well even with XP SP2

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open Firefox
2.Click on one of my bookmarks
3.Crash

Actual Results:  
Firefox stopped responding and I had to press ctrl alt sup to open the task 
window and close Firefox manually

Expected Results:  
Browse the web as Firefox 0.8 used to do beautifully; so I tried to reinstall 
Firefox but it wouldn't work either. 

No theme, it was the virgin Firefox 1.0 version I had just downloaded.

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.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
