296104 - Browser refuses to navigate to other links after visiting this page and the firefox.exe process needs to be killed to restore functionality

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Richard]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

The page seems to make heavy use of javascript and causes Firefox to become
unusable. Closing the tab does not solve the problem, closing Firefox leaves the
firefox.exe process running. The only thing that will restore functionality is
to kill the firefox.exe process and restart Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the specified URL
2. Try navigating to any other link from the page
3.




I'm using tabbed browsing with the Tab Mix extension.

It's  Tools > Options > Content > Enable Java.
If I have this unticked then things go mental.
If I have it ticked, the page loads fine.
BTW I don't even have a Java RTE installed.

WFM XP pro and w2k, same FF build, coincidentally with tab mix 0.1.2a

not sure what to suggest other than try it in safe mode, without tab mix and new
profile.

Also works for me in the same build. Will mark as such unless someone can
provide more information.
