337440 - The Firefox browser itself will not completly load but is still usable

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Timothy J. Murphy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3

The load status bar shows the loading of the browser at almost 100%, but not quite, but it still does function. The problem occurs when you attempt to reach a website, where it is supposed to allow a redirection for a different URL. You get the note which reads, you will be directed within 15 secs., or something similar. Redirection never occurs; I.E., I always have to perform a manual redirect.
Eevn as I write this summary, the load status progression bar is showing a full amount of nine green boxes of squares, but if the browser would be fully loaded, those green boxes should have disappeared. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just load the browser
2.
3.

I have the most recent version, what ever the current numbered version happens to be. Funny, but after I took the time to clear out my privacy preferences, the glitch resolved itself. HMMM!

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!
