326085 - Firefox 1.5.0.1 (and 1.5.0) hangs when I visit URL, even in safe mode

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

[Jason Sachs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

This is probably the same bug as one of the other "hangs on URL X" bugs but since I don't know what the specific problem is, I am filing a separate issue.

I have no idea what evil things this webpage is doing.
Even if I have additional separate Firefox windows open, it hangs them all. Javascript/Java are disabled. I tried it in safe-mode. Same problem.

If anyone figures out what is wrong with this URL, please forward to their webmaster ([e-mail] ?) so they can fix it.

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: small testcase

only 35 nested DIVs deep, freezes my X2 4200+ for about ten seconds. The original webpage is the same, just more nested divs.

Regression between 24-Nov-2004.07 and 25-Nov-2004.09.

small testcase

of course if I *could* count, I'd know there are only 18 nested divs here. Some of the closing tags are wrong but they don't matter.

PS. don't "edit" this attachment on a slow computer

Also see this with latest trunk build on XP

This looks very similar to bug 320378 and bug 273293.  And this is almost certainly a regression from bug 209694.

This should be retested once bug 320378 and bug 273293 are fixed.

Probably not.

Comment 8

Appears to be fixed by bug 320378.
