User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008043010 Fedora/3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9 Firefox/3.0b5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008043010 Fedora/3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9 Firefox/3.0b5 some sites might have some of its page data such as CSS on a different server. however, sometimes, the off-site page server might be unavailable / down. current firefox keep trying to load that off-site data before rendering the pages which made an impression of slow loading. It would be nice if there are a preferences settings/ about:config entry to change this behaviour so that firefox render the page immediately, ignoring whether CSS is loaded or not. one example usecase - using google's cache to view contents of a down webserver. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load a page which its CSS is located in an unreachable server 2. had to wait until for a long timeout to end before content is rendered Actual Results: page rendered - after long~~ time waiting for non-reachable CSS. Expected Results: page rendered immediately
erm .. no .. even with Nglayout.initialpaint.delay set to 1, firefox still tries to load the css before displaying the page one example (replace 10.3.0.7 with a non-existant computer/IPaddress in ur network): <html> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://10.3.0.7/test.css" type="text/css"/> </html> <body> Hello world </body> try to open it with firefox, and until connection to 10.3.0.7 timed out, firefox does not render the page.
oops .. wrong paste <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://10.3.0.7/test.css" type="text/css"/> </head> <body> Helloworld </body> </html>
