265843 - website is constantly reloading so you can use it or read anything

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[foxy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041021 Firefox/1.0 (JTw)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041021 Firefox/1.0 (JTw)

The page should be steady rather than reload itself every second. The msot
peculiar thing about this bug is that it happens only on 1 account of three on
my PC. I am not able to reproduce this bug on two other user accounts.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.robertfripp.com/diary/
2. Click on Robert Fripp's Diary ...... link
3. Observe the results

Actual Results:  
The site constantly reloads itself.

Expected Results:  
Site should be steady.

It is very much like bug 252306, but there is no popups on that site and no
adverts. Also in my case it happens only on one account, so it maybe difficult
to reproduce.

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.
