Win98 101904 trunk commercial Win build. 1.) Visit the above url and click on Install Netscape PSM for Windows. What happens: A large window starts to appear, then Netscape 6 locks up.
This is seen in linux and win32 mozilla trunk builds 101908/4 This blocks securty smoketests. Not sure if we want to hold the tree for it. Adding smoketest keyword and setting severity to Critical.
Severity: normal → critical

I can reproduce the lock-up. I believe this may be related to Bug 56851.
Bug <A HREF="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55974">55974</A> probably has a hand in this also?
is the js3250.dll crash from 56759 related? it hasn't come up in bug 56851 yet. just tryin' to help....
I cannot reproduce this problem on today's BRANCH builds. Installation appears successful on both Linux and Windows.
Worksforme with the 10/20 branch linux and win98 builds.

a correction: the browser doesn't freeze till STOP is hit. ANd that is when the error message displays. Till stop is hit, it will only go on "spinning". A side effect is that if i try to get mail during this, mailnews will also just spin "forever". Closing mail and opening again, will now leave all networking via mailnews dead. Nothing happens when "get" is clicked, it doesn't attempt to get more mail at all.
