Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Pennington]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b5pre) Gecko/20100825 Minefield/4.0b5pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b5pre) Gecko/20100825 Minefield/4.0b5pre

What should happen can be seen at time of writing with http://www.looe.co.uk/webcam/webcam.htm. With defective site http://www.theoldbridgehousehotel.co.uk/en/webcam Minefield starts to load and then freezes. Only way out is to use Task Manager and kill the browser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter http://www.theoldbridgehousehotel.co.uk/en/webcam
2. Watch load until site freezes
3. Use Task Manager to back out
Actual Results:  
As above. Assumption is that http://www.theoldbridgehousehotel.co.uk/en/webcam is broken (cameras off line?) at time of testing.

Expected Results:  
Site fails to load and user is so advised. Browser freezing totally is not expected.
