Trying to navigate in
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/
firefox starts to eat too much resources: CPU + memory trying to download the
entire list.

When it comes about c* position it hangs. This problem also afects my xmms,
hanging it :_(

In wget
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/
downloading index.html costed to me about 3 secs!! i firefox it costs 100% CPU
and 3 or 4 minutes to come back from hang state...

I can confirm this to 100%. All mozilla versions that existed since this web
page is on-line have this problem! I used mozilla on RedHat Linux, when this
page was created and it showed me already this problem. It was never fixed. At
the moment I'm using mozilla 1.7.3 on FedoraCore 2 at the moment and the problem
sill persists.

I'm very sure that mozilla has problems with the HTML or layout used on this
page. Please note that RedHat's servers are not slow: looking at the page with
konqueror or links ist blazingly fast.

You can also check with this URL:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/

I fact you can choose every directory that has a lot of files. Short pages seem
to work.

Symtoms are: 100% CPU usage, no feedback/rendering. Maybe mozilla recovers after
minutes. Please confirm this bug now! Just look at the page, it's so easy.



Confirming.  Reproduced using mozilla.org build of firefox 1.0.1 running on
Fedora Core 3.  The mozilla.org build of SeaMonkey 1.7.5 on the same box does
not exhibit the problem.

Just to say 8 seconds to load first time, then <4 seconds to reload.

Bill
this is wfm with the current nightly, at least for me.
Seems to be solved in the meanwhile. I mean WFM again with current mozilla 1.7.12 on Fedorca Core 3. Reporters please check again, may be we can close it as fixed.
Seems wfm too with current FF3 beta 3 build on Windows. Time to close this bug?
the url is 404, makring wfm based on comment 13 and comment 15
