95841 - Mozilla 0.9.3 hangs, but doesn't crash

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Clark]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010810
BuildID:    2001081008

Mozilla 0.9.3 hangs much more frequently than 0.9.2 did for me.  It doesn't
crash, just hangs, which is much more annoying.  I often get the "hourglass" and
am not able to do anything other than force-quit.  Someone on the mozilla.mac
newsgroup suggested that I post some MacsBug information, so I will.

I will attach a MacsBug StdLog file after creating this bug.

Also, Talkbalk is not working with this release on the Mac, so it isn't catching
any of this stuff either (bug id# 94908)
 

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work in Mozilla 0.9.3
2. After a while, it will hang
3.

Brian,

As discussed in bug 94908, it turns out that 0.9.3 came with the Component Registry 
already created in the application's folder, but without including TalkBack. Deleting that 
Registry (causing it to be rebuilt at Mozilla's next startup) corrects the problem (TB has 
started working for me once again after doing so). So, try that, and at least your crash 
data will be sent to Mozilla.org as appropriate.

As this bug isn't about a specific crash, I'm going to mark it invalid. If TB still doesn't start 
working for you, please comment on bug 94908. If you can reproduce a specific crash, 
please open a new bug.
