287538 - Since installing version 1.0.2 - Firefox has become 97% unresponsive.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[FarmerBob]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

Installed FF 1.0.2 and links from Entourage no longer opens a new window nor
handles URL in it or existing window. Apple-N does not open new window. May
other key commands go unacted upon. Links in the menu bar fail to do anything.
Have reinstalled 1.0.1 and am having the same problems now.

Since I'm running 9 browsers (Web testing) I have saved my bookmarks from FF and
am moving on to another browser. Will check back eventually. May switch back if
operation is as it was in 1.0.1 prior to 1.0.2 corruption.

Good Bye, Firefox. I need a browser that works.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
For 1.0.2 to operate better than 1.0.1.

Did you upgrade using the preferred method of removing you old copy of Firefox
and not copying over the old one?

Does creating a new profile yield the desired results?

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.
