308816 - XUL Errorpages in Frameset

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Kroc Camen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

If a frameset loads, but the individual frame pages timeout, you get a XUL error
page in each frame, on sites that use frames, often there are several frames of
all sorts of sizes causing a messy display and sometimes several "try again" buttons

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Can someone create a working example of this?


Expected Results:  
What should happen is that if a frame page times out, and that frame is too
small/thin/tall to display the whole XUL error page then a single "try again"
button should be shown - or display a single XUL error page instead of one for
each frame

Testcase in URL field. I don't have any idea what I expect though: generally
when I see it, it's because of framed ads timing out, and I certainly don't want
the whole page replaced by an error page then.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
