I end up having to kill it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type http://www.comcast.net within the address box. 2. 3. Actual Results: Hangs during rendering. Expected Results: A full page showing the Comcast login page.
It looks fine on Firefox 1.5 [Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 ID:2005111116]. WFM.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051130 Firefox/1.6a1 WFM. See this in safe mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Attempted safe mode. Did not work.
I'm assuming "doesn't work" means that the page still hangs? Are you having trouble viewing any other sites, or is this limted to comcast.net?
Yes, same behavior. So far, comcast.net is the only site that seems to be exhibiting problems. Since it works ok on other platforms, we can't pin it on Comcast.
Does the same thing happen in a new profile? I'm thinking it might be caused since you're logged into comcast.net. Start Firefox with `firefox -P' to create a new profile.
Blasted all my profiles and reran. It still hangs rendering the page. I can't seem to gdb firefox-bin or run truss to attach to the process to find out where it hangs.
You'd need to build with --enable-debug to get any useful info. with gdb. http://www.mozilla.org/unix/debugging-faq.html
Ok, I isolated this problem to an issue with my Linux Flashplayer7 on FreeBSD. Getting rid of this plugin allows the page to load. I don't know why safe-mode didn't work, but oh well. So, my guess is that this is not a Firefox bug.
Marking INVALID as the bug is not in Firefox, but something with Flash.
