300225 - Camino freezes when I click on links from page to page or when I select a link in mail to open in Camino

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: Accessibility, defect)

Description

[Eddie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.23; Mac_PowerPC)
Build Identifier: 

as soon as I click on report and start to search through previous reports the browser 
freezes on me, so I am left with Mail. Here's the complete report that I am trying to post: 

My browsers Camino 9.01 and Safari 2.0 keep freezing on me. This happened right after 
I installed Tiger. I have since installed the update to the Tiger. But the problem persists. I 
have since gone back and deleted the caches from both Safari and Camino to no avail. I 
have also gone back and have done a clean archive and install of Tiger and the 
subsequent 10.4 Update. No good. I have also installed the security update.
 
I have repaired the disk permissions. And as a last desperate measure removed 
Microsoft Virtual PC which is known to be problematic. I have also updated iDVD.
 
Someone on the Apple support site suggested deleting the preference files. So I have 
done that as well, for both Camino and Safari. I have also gone into Application Support 
and deleted all the files under Camino.
 
Now the freezing happens as follows: I will start the browser and start looking at pages. 
Let’s say I go into Amazon and the search that I initiate comes back with 8 pages. So I 
look at the first page then the second when I click on the >next to go into the 3rd page it 
freezes. Or sometimes I will click on the scroll bar on the right hand side to view more of 
the page and it will freeze. Other times I will be in Mail and click on  a link. As soon as the 
browser opens it will freeze.
 
With Camino as soon as I get into the Mozilla.Org site and click on Report Bugs and 
follow the link it freezes. I have tried this 4 times. And it's happened every single time. 

If there is a file or report that I can send you that you create during the freeze that would 
help you unlock this mystery. That would fine. Just let me know. 

Thanks

Here's the thing, I am using IE5.2to create this bug report !!! Otherwise using either 
Camino or Safari wouldn't get this far

If the cursor doesn't move at all and if Safari does the same thing then this is
a system problem and there is nothing Camino can do to fix it. It may even be a
hardware problem like bad memory.
