I see this behavior on Firefox 1.0+  (build 3/02/05)

when getting the statement from www.hibernia.com (login reqired), the page never
quits loading and therefore, I can't print.  However, the page is visually
complete. Safari loads this page properly...

I also see this if I try to make firefox go to a site that doesn't
exist/respond. Esp when trying to login to a router's ip address on the wrong
port (80,88,1080,8080) Firefox won't resposd to the stop so I can try a
different port# I have to just shove it onto the next port/site whatever w/o
getting it to stop ever

This also prevents printing of certain pages that fail to load.

Attachment: screenshot of FF trying to download despite all stop buttons having being pressed

our server was playing up this morning, which may have something to do with it,
but anyway, here i am browsing three pages, one of which is internal to our
network, and downloading a file. i stopped all 3 pages and paused the download.
no "loading" animations were present on the tabs and all pages were visually
complete yet the message "Waiting for common.ziffavisinternet.com..." was
stubbornly sat in the status bar. I think that this is an advert on a tab that
i've closed. 

generally though i find the stop button lacking in tabbed browsing. i want the
stop button to stop. not "maybe wait to see if the advert in the iframe loads"
but stop. everyting. now.

Your reported Firefox version(s) are too old a build to analyze bugs against now. The problem you are reporting may well have been fixed already.

Could you please download a recent version or nightly build from <http://www.mozilla.org/releases/nightly.html>, and then let us know if you still see this problem?

Also, Could you please provide exact build information and examples of pages where you see this problem.

Many thanks, Cigno
