278512 - http request steals cycles

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 278124

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tom]

Disclosure: I am new to Firefox.

When Firefox sends a request, it does not wait for a response, rather loops
taking cycles. The bug appeared with Netscape 6; it was fixed in Netscape 7. 

For most users, this will never be noticed. For a developer with a browser and
server on the same machine, it can be paralyzing.

Perhaps there is a work-around in all the settings at about:config, but I can't
guess what it is.
