From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i686; en-US; m14)
BuildID:    2000033008

After loading the page at http://www.freeinusa.com/freei.htm, mouseover events
no longer work, the highlights on the menus don't show up, highlighted text
isn't inverted, the back/forward/reload/stop buttons get frozen at whatever they
looked like at the time (though they still work when you click them), and
various other things stop working. Mozilla has to be restarted for them to work
again. Pages still load, but very clunkily, and the Mozilla logo throbber
doesn't get animated.




Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to http://www.freeinusa.com/freei.htm

Or:
1. Make an .html file containing the code in the test case below.
2. Open that file with Mozilla.


Actual Results:  The page loaded, and then various widgets and animations froze
the way they were, though clicking them still worked.

Expected Results:  It should have shown a broken image link where the bad image
reference was, and had no other effects.

I've narrowed this down to a test case. The problem on that page is the ad
banner, which has src="http://image.click2net.com/?A011717,13". It appears that
there is no image there.

The test case is a page consisting of nothing but an image pointing to anything
on image.click2net.com that begins with a question mark. If I make a bad image
reference that does NOT begin with a question mark, things keep working fine.
Also, if I use a different site besides image.click2net.com, things keep working.

The exact code: <HTML><BODY><img
src="http://image.click2net.com/?foo"></BODY></HTML>
