46172 - with AtGuard 3.2 ad-blocking enabled, the statusbar displays over 100% complete when loading the above url

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 44126

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Rann Bar-On]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000719
BuildID:    2000071910

When AtGuard 3.2 ad-blocking is enabled, the progress bar on the status bar
displays percentages over 100%.  When AtGuard is disabled, behaviour is normal.
 Not tested with the successor to AtGuard: Norton Internet Security.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install AtGuard 3.2
2.  Enable Ad-Blocking
3.  Load www.mozillazine.org in Mozilla
4.  Observe progress bar.

Actual Results:  progress bar displayed percentages over 100%

Expected Results:  showed normal progress - percentages below 100%

I would guess this also occurs with other ad-blocking software.  Would be a good
idea to test it with NIS, since AtGuard has been discontinued.  I have seen this
behaviour on other websites as well, when AtGuard prevents a graphic from
displaying.

does it block the ads? I heavily doubt this is fixable, and the progress bar is
as is not always perfect, which is a known bug

Yes, ads are blocked

over to toolkit.

possibly just a variation on bug #44126, but this is not xptoolkit (the 
progressmeter just displays what it is told to display). Moving to necko, 
but this may ultimately be xpapps (navigator.js code).
