From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010603 BuildID: 2001060320 www.javasoft.com has a Java applet. Clicking on links on that page (at least the ones I've tried) causes the browser to hang. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to www.javasoft.com (with Java enabled) 2. Click on "Gosling talks Duke..." link. Actual Results: Hangs browser - need to kill with Task Manager and restart. Expected Results: See the page requested: http://www.javasoft.com/features/2001/06/goslingduke.html?frontpage-se I seem to remember that hitting the "Back" button from www.javasoft.com actually causes an Application fault - as I'm writing this from within Mozilla, I can't check :-)

WFM on 2001060409 on Win2K with Java enabled. Thomas, could you try this again using a talkback build, and post the talkback ID? Thanks a lot!
After getting your e-mail, I immediately went and picked up the talkback version and installed it....But then I realized - what good will the talkback version do since Mozilla didn't actually crash: it just hangs! Is there a way in Windows NT that I can cause it to crash - and produce the stack trace you're presumably looking for? (i.e. something akin to "kill -11" in UNIX.) Thanks, Tom P.S. One encouraging thing: it still hangs with the newer talkback version - so the bug had the decency to hang around [:-)]
Worksforme with today's Monday's linux trunk built debug enabled, and jdk1.3.1. Ed
Since Ed's Linux build from today worked, I tried the latest Windows version (2001/06/05-04). It still hangs. Figuring that, perhaps, it's one of those mysterious crashes that disappears when you remove various moz* files from the Winnt directory, I did that and repeated the experiment. Same result: it hangs when clicking on a link from that Java containing page. (Interestingly, it doesn't use any more CPU than normal - just sits there as if in the middle of a transfer with the Mozilla icon no longer updating and the cursor with a busy indicator.) My complete environment: Build 2001060504 on WinNT 4.0 SP5; JRE 1.3.1; 256MB RAM
Thomas, D'oh! I realized after writing that comment that you in fact said Hang, not Crash. My mistake. Sometimes when Mozilla hangs for me it eventually crashes after gobbling up memory for a while (it may take some time with the 256MB you have). Is this the case? Thanks for grabbing the new talkback build!
No, it doesn't consume any more resources when it hangs - it's just stuck. CPU utilization doesn't go up, memory usage doesn't either. The 'hanging' also affects the JRE (1.3.1) - I can't bring up the Java console either. Again, does someone with Windows expertise know how to crash an application so that we can get a stack trace of where it got stuck? tom
That page just hangs for me as, without needing to click a link. 2001-06-09 Win95. It's fine with Java turned off. Gerv
I have been getting this problem on Linux for months... Mozilla used to be the most stable Java browser on Linux... I really dont know what's causing this, but its very annoying... I had the same as bug 86196.
I believe this is a dupe of bug 85041.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010620 I get the same results as Gerv. (Direct crash with Java enabled on www.javasoft.com and java.sun.com)

Marking NEW based on confirmation. lets try OJI since it crashes with Java enabled.
this is the lazy java startup thing..which is going to stay as it is(browser appears frozen for a while..then whole page appears). Reporter...pls try to visit some other applet page (you would see same behaviour). .but once the jvm loads, if u visit another page..it hould laod fine..
Shrirang suggested that this might be a 'lazy Java startup' issue. The behaviour others describe certainly may have their cause in the Java startup, but they're not the same problem as I had encountered: in my case, Java had already started up! It's only when I visited the next link (in particular the link to the Gosling story that since then has been removed from www.javasoft.com) that the browser would hang. I just tried going to www.javasoft.com with the 070108 nightly. The page loads and the applet runs as before. I then manually entered the URL to the Gosling story (since I can't click the link anymore.) The browser no longer hangs. Should I assume that the problem was somehow fixed and close this bug? What's the procedure? Thanks, Tom
Seems to work with 10 July 01 Trunk and 0.9.2. branch.
