Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

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

After hitting refresh on a post, Firefox's chrome starts blinking incessantly.
(New windows don't blink, but the original window continues to blink.)

This is such a unique occurance that I can't imagine the steps to recreate it...
But it definitely happened.

Reproducible: Didn't try

if you can't reproduce it this bug will disappear in the dustbin.

Comment 2

[David Anderson]

Thanks for the comment, Peter.  I understand the consequences of being unable to
reproduce this: If a bug happens only once, was there an error?

I just thought I'd put it in anyway in case someone else ever had the issue;
then we could begin to triangulate.

just a case of bad luck I guess ;-)

happened again.. I think it has something to do with getting an error page and
then hitting refresh

Comment 6

1. Do you get any errormessage in javascript console when this happens.
2. Can you use -safemode and see if you can still "reproduce" it ?

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
