92694 - browser freezes at loading the page

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Minko Markov]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628
BuildID:    2001062823

Load the current www.economist.com page  (28.July)
Note that it changes every week, although the URL
is the same. The next week it may work. The Economist
definitely worked in the past with mozilla, even old
builds (even M16 worked on The Economist, I think).
There is something in this week's page...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load www.economist.com
2.
3.

Actual Results:  The browser freezes after loading part of the
page. At different attempts it loads different
parts, but freezes inevitably. Then I have to
kill -9 the process.

Expected Results:  Load the page correctly :)  Netscape 4.75 works
fine on it.

A later build, namely 2001072806, works fine
with this page.
