265617 - Printing this specific page from the article hoses FireFox, takes a long time in Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Sterling Ferguson II]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116

I was printing the article using FireFox 1.0PR on WinXP. Every page printed fine
except the one above. It stalled for 3 minutes "preparing" and then I killed it
after Task Mananer stated that it was not responding. Reproduced the problem 4
times. I then used Mozilla on SUN and the other pages printed fine, like
FireFox, but this one specific page "Getting Connected" took almost 1 minute to
print.

For both browsers, the other pages print in less than ten seconds.

This is NOT the first time I have had problems printing from this particular web
site using the different versions of Mozilla software.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to www.pcmag.com
2.Select article on Do-It-Yourself DVR, then "Getting Connected"
3.Try printing and compare to other pages in the article.

Actual Results:  
FireFox 1.0PR WinXP locks up.
Mozilla 1.6 Solaris takes some extra time to print.

In another PC Mag article, this happened with my Moz 1.7 for XP.

Expected Results:  
Printed quickly.

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.
