At the web site http://www.psu.edu/ur/directory/ mozilla crashes everytime. After some snooping I found the following line was the culprit... <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//SoftQuad Software//DTD HoTMetaL PRO 6.0::19990601::extensions to HTML 4.0//EN" "hmpro6.dtd"> When I remove the line, the page loads fine. I guess that this line might be bad HTML in comparison with the rest of the page, but mozilla should either ignore it if it doesn't understand, or present an error. It should most definately not crash with an invalid page fault in gkparser
oops. I didn't realize that my first post actually made it through (network problems on my end.) I'm marking my own post a duplicate *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 50994 ***
