visit www.aol.com and the contents starts to load in the first one or two
seconds.  Then all of them gone, leaving a blank client area.  And the
status bar reads: transfering data from http300.edge.ru4.com...  The loading
is forever from there.

IE does not have this problem.

It's very likely that the bug is a dupe of another.  I had searched in different
ways but the results were always too much to comb through.  Sorry if this is
a dupe.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to www.aol.com
2.watch the page loading forever
3.



Expected Results:  
The page should be loaded normally.

Stop and reload will show the page normally .  But the first time loading
(without cookies, cache etc) always shows the problem.

This is also true for earlier builds, like 10 days ago.

In JS console I see some CSS errors and a lot of warnings, last one is:
Warning: assignment to undeclared variable expireDate
Source File: http://cdn.aol.com/js/wr5_aolcom_popup1.js
Line: 32

I´ve got session cookies allowed, and popups blocked.
Closed the tab, deleted all AOL-seesion cookies, loaded AOL again in another tab,
same behaviour, last warning same as above.

Stop did work, but Reload or Shift Reload didn´t. 
I dragged the URL into the stopped tag, and it was loading fine.
JS console was showing the warning before the warning above as last warning:

Warning: assignment to undeclared variable i

I tried aol.com again and it works now.  I use firefox 1.0.2 for windows.
Mark it as resolved.
