93720 - Web pages take forever to load

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 71718

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Greg Vantreese]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.1b1; Mac_PowerPC)
BuildID:    2001080316

When loading web page via http, browser gets to initial "Transferring data 
from <host>" then just hangs forever with very high CPU utilization and 
browser throbber showing that it is still trying to load.  It seems to be 
"hanging" on images because often an initial page background will 
display with a place holder for an image will appear but neither the image 
nor any other page elements finish loading.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start browser
2. Attempt to load any page/address via http

Actual Results:  Browser resolves host, connects to it, says "Transferring 
data from <host>", then just hangs forever with very high CPU utilization 
and browser throbber showing that it is still trying to load.

Expected Results:  Page should have loaded and displayed in browser 
window.

Opening files from local storage does not exhibit this problem, just pages 
loading via http.  Router blinkenlights show direct correlation to browser 
behavior, network traffic on initial page hit then net traffic ceases on the 
browser hang.  Interestingly, I can often get the page to finish loading by 
invoking the View Page Source menu option.  Also, closing hung window 
will stop high CPU utilization.  The behavior is not specific to any particular 
web site.  All http URL's exhibit the problem.  Running under Mac OSX 
10.0.4 on a dual processor 533 MHz G4 PowerMac behind an Apple 
Airport 802.11b wireless hub with NAT on a cable modem.  I've read at 
least one other report of this same behavior from someone on the same 
OS/hardware configuration in the reviews for Mac OSX mozilla on 
versiontracker.com.  This same bug has been around in the nightly builds 
for a while but I do not remember when I first saw it.

Works for me under Fizzilla/0.9.3 (2001080316) on a single-processor G4/466 running OS X 
10.0.4.
