293705 - When I load this site, firefox crashes and burns.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Matador]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

Most likely, the site is using "bad" (tm) code, or something.  But what do I
know about HTML.  I don't think a browser should die though because of it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter http://www.mazikana.com/ in address bar
2. Watch Task Manager as Firefox crashes and burns.
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox dies and/or consumes 100% cpu
<eliah> well, it didn't crash the Fox, but it froze it
<eliah> (I'm on Mac OS X 10.4)
<hymn> Matador_: www.mazikana.com crashed mozilla 1.0.4 too

Expected Results:  
Load the website
or
Tell me the website contains excessive inferior/non-conforming code to be viewable

The site uses excessive memory and is slow for me with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050509 Firefox/1.0.4
But with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0+ ID:2005051100 the site is fast and responsive.
It seems that whatever problem you are seeing here, it is fixed on the trunk
(firefox 1.1beta) builds.

If you are feeling brave, then please try a nightly (1.1beta) build and see if
the problem still exists:

Note - I'd create a new profile for such a test.
If not, I will mark this bug WORKSFORME.

I'll test w/ 1.1 nightly later today and give feedback.

Comment 3

Uninstalled everything.  Deleted Firefox related dirs in Documents & Settings /
Application Data / Mozilla, and installation directory.

Re-installed latest nightly 2005-05-11

Everything is ok.

Guess I just needed a clean up.
Wo is me :(
