Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Security, defect)

Description

[Gregory S.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

Apparently, pages with a certificate problem (eg : domain mismatch) take a very LOOONG time to load the first time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load this URL in Internet Epxlorer : https://webmail133.hec.fr/servlet/webacc
2. The page should show normally, after the security warning
3. Load the same URL under Firefox : I have to wait for 20-30s before seing the "domain mismatch" warning box. Then, the page loads up normally.
Actual Results:  
The page takes 30 seconds to load

Expected Results:  
Load normally, like it does in IE

Regression range for this is http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?module=PhoenixTinderbox&date=explicit&mindate=2006-05-12+14%3A00&maxdate=2006-05-12+23%3A00
so it could be caused by Bug 337371 or Bug 337770.

Hi Gregory,

The provided URL is no longer available, can you please provide another one or maybe a test case so we can try to reproduce this?

Is this still reproducible on your end ? If yes, can you please retest this using latest Firefox release and latest Nightly build (https://nightly.mozilla.org/)and report back the results ? When doing this, please use a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even safe mode, to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause

Thanks,

Hi Cosmin. Thanks for looking at this, but it was 9 years ago :)

I think we can close this issue.
