Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[paulwfoos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050325 Firefox/1.0+

After a new install of Windows 2000 Pro SP4 I have tried several installs of 
Firefox and Mozilla but have the identical problem.  While browsing hangs 
become more frequent and longer.  The program churns away and the Task Manager 
shows that it is using 100% of CPU processing.  IE works fine, as do all other 
programs.  I have tried turning off Trend Micro PC-cillin firewall, and also 
switching to Zone Alarm.  I have turned off all startup programs from the 
registry and it has not helped

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Firefox (or Mozilla)
2.Browse on or offline
3.

Actual Results:  
Browser hangs, CPU runs at 100%.  When I try to close Firefox I get a message 
that the program is not responding

Expected Results:  
Firefox browses without hanging or crashing

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

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
