#34585 [NEW]: php.net causes Firefox to freeze

From: php at transpect dot com Operating system: Gentoo Linux PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: php.net causes Firefox to freeze Description: ------------ Using Mozilla Firefox 1.0.5, the page begins to display, but gets to "Connecting to static.php.net" and then freezes. At that point going to another screen, then back to Firefox produces an empty terminal window for Firefox with no contents. This is reproducible; happens every time. I'm connecting with Opera now with no problem. Firefox is using the addblock and noscript plugins ... hmm, wait now I can connect okay with Firefox, as I go to check the noscript setting for it -- which is currently off. So: four times in a row it freezes and I have to kill firefox manually. Now finally it works. Opera worked the first time in the midst of the Firefox crashes. Firefox has always worked with php.net before. And now on a sixth test it freezes up again. Seventh test: Turning on JavaScript as the site loads seems to clear the problem; turning it back off, the browser freezes again, same way. Eighth: Yup, that reproduces. With JavaScript blocked the site freezes the browser. In particular the main page cannot be scrolled -- or anything else, really. Suggestion: No site should ever depend on JavaScript running in the browser, especially not a site supporting a programming language which will often enough be used in contexts with JavaScript disabled for security reasons. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34585&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34585&r=mysqlcfg
