From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505
BuildID:    2001050515

This happens pretty often. On almost all pages. Well, at least I wasn't able to
find any reason which could cause this. While testing I didn't closed this page
for 5 hours... No changes... :(


Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce: Go to this page.

That url works fine for me with build 2001050804 on Windows 95

If this is ahppening to you on almost every url, it sounds like the problem is
your DNS server, not Mozilla. Are you having the same problem with Netscape 4.X
? with Internet Explorer ? With any other internet programs?

I used to have exactly those same symptoms because my ISP's DNS server was
overloaded. When they gave me the address of and alternate one, everything was
nice and speedy again.

I have this problem very often. But not always. Sometimes it happens sometimes 
it doesn't.

That's the whole point! It works propertly on:
NN4.75, NN4.77, Opera5.0, Opera5.11, IE5.5, etc, etc...

Let me see if I understand correctly..  the page loads but the status bar does
not update to say "Done"?  Or the page does not load at all?  Which happens?

Page loads but the status bar does not update to say "Done".

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

OK.... does the throbber keep going too? If so, this is another "page never
finishes loading" bug.....

Comment 7

[Mikko Vedru]

Tried to do it in 2001050812(latest nightly) and this bug still presents.

"throbber" is not moving. So page should be loaded, but not according to 
process bar.

btw, sometimes there is only text(like "resolving host www.****.com") in status 
bat without thick grey line(whatever) in process bar on the left.

page doesn't exist anymore.
reporter: can you please check, if this build is still in new builds and give a
new URL or a testcase, which show the problem?

Marking INVALID the page doesnt exist anymore this was probably a dupe anyway.
