I get only the first page and old messages.
The refresh doesn't work :(

Thanks for fixing it

Windows 95, build ID 2000070908

I suspect this is XP.

What seems to happen is that the connection is never closed, and content is 
appended as people speak. Netscape 4.73 and IE5.01 render these immediately, but 
Mozilla only renders new content for a couple of seconds, and then waits for the 
connection to close before rendering the rest.

A site where you can see this happen without needing to have an account (though 
you can freely create them at those chat sites if you want to test those) is 
http://grc.com/. You'll need PSM installed though. Click the "Shields UP!" on 
that page, then click the "Probe My Ports!" button on the next page. In 
Netscape and IE, as each new port probed is added, it is rendered. In Moz, it 
renders a few, then stops updating the page till it's all done.

Is this layout?

updating summary,
Could be netlib buffering the data or layout not reflowing often enough, can
someone figure out the proper component please.

hitting stop will force the content to show. but it also closes the stream,
which stops it from receiving further updates to the page.

argh... this could mean trouble for our 8K read-chunks. 

Yes. I was going to make them auto-adjustable. I've a bug for M18 or so about 
it. Though it's not criticial for nsbeta2

this shouldn't be a problem anymore since we dispatch packets (via
onDataAvailable) as they are read off the socket.  this could be
more of an issue with layout if content is not being rendered frequently
enough.
Severity: normal → minor
i don't believe this is a problem anymore.. marking WORKSFORME.
