Description

[Paul Rubin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1

Visiting this site causes the browser to enter a cpu-busy hang.  Navigation
doesn't work and the window manager close icon doesn't work.  I have to kill it
from a shell.  The titlebar does appear and some of the page content appears
some of the time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit http://sbc.net (expecting southwestern bell corp. ISP division)
2. See title bar indicating it's actually the site of an xtian church
3. wait for rest of page to load, but it doesn't.

Actual Results:  
Browser is wedged.  There is lots of Javascript on the page but the wedging
happens even with JS disabled in the browser.

Expected Results:  
Don't wedge

As for the site, I think you have the address confused or something:

sbc.net Registrant:
Executive Committee Southern Baptist Convention (SBC11-DOM)

Page itself loads without issue for me; Window is responsive. WFM Mozilla/5.0
(X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050114 Firefox/1.0+. 

I guess this is a firefox 0.10.1 bug.

you're definitely on the wrong site if your looking for a Bell company. Anyway,
the browser shouldn't crash on that site, no matter what you're looking for.

I assume you got a problem with your flash. The site works for me.
Have a look at
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/
and see if that fixes your problem. Please report back here?

Please dont file bugs with older builds. At least test with 1.0.

Yes, I'm aware that sbc.com is the Southern Baptist Convention; I went to it
expecting Southwestern Bell but found out otherwise.

I don't have Flash installed and don't want to install it.  I think I did get
that missing-plugin frame that I get all the time (there seems to be no way to
turn that off).

I'm using the 1.0 preview release which I thought was pretty recent.  If you
guys say it works with 1.0 then I'll take your word for it.  I will upgrade
sooner or later and try again, but don't want to upgrade just for the sake of a
site that I only visited by accident.

Bah, I meant sbc.net is the Baptists.  sbc.com is the telco.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
