and Firefox crashes with no error report.

Reproducible: Always

2.Go to http://www.geocities.com/cfj2222/ and wait about 10 seconds for music to
start and play.

Actual Results:  
The Firefox browser will crash with processor load in Task Manager reading 100%

Expected Results:  
Played Midi in Quicktime seamlessly.

There was no error report. I am not a developer. Sorry.

Bugs was successfully reproduced under Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0;
en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0. Firefox became CPU greedy as hell
after 10 seconds and the music began to pause some time to time.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050322
Firefox/1.0+

Unable to reproduce, I installed Quicktime 6.5.2, no background music plays at
all, period, and I get the "plugin missing" dialog bar at the top asking for QT
6.5.1

Report:

Do you have a Talkback ID for the crash?

Can reproduce on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050328 Firefox/1.0+

Using quicktime plugin 6.5.1. 

This doesn't appear to be a firefox bug.  If you load the midi file directly
without the page ie. http://www.geocities.com/cfj2222/Enterprise.mid it also
happens.  If you repeat in IE6 with quicktime plugin it also happens - either
quicktime bug or midi file problem.

Firefox didn't crash but CPU load was at 100 - same as in IE.

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.
