found this while using today's opt comm bits on linux [2000.05.22.08]. grace,
not sure if this is a dup; also, pls reassign if needed. :-)
1. launch netscape, when Select User Profile dialog appears, follow the steps to
create a new profile.
2. launch that new profile, it'll attempt to load the above URL.
results: the browser's content window looks terrible when trying to load the
What's New page. it takes nearly 1-2min!
3. wanting to change my homepage as soon as possible, i attempt to bring up the
Preferences dialog...but unable to.
results: when i click the Edit menu, it takes a couple seconds for the browser
to respond --where i'm unable to switch to another virtual desktop, even...then
it displays the menu (without the tab over the menutitle highlighted,
strangely). but then i'm unable to select any of the menu items. nor am i able
to dismiss the menu (clicking elsewhere), or get any of the other browser
widgets to respond.
4. give up, right-mouse-click the close box to kill the window. then Ctrl+C to
kill the pid. ugh.
note: when i relaunch using the previously-created profile, i don't see this
problem since the friggin' What's New page no longer loads
(http://home.netscape.com/ loads instead). what's causing this?

might be a backend problem? or even a layout issue?

I can't fathom why anyone would assign this to profiles. We have traditionally
avoided fixing layout bugs :-)
Correcting summary to remove reference to profiles.

pardon the spam: transferring kw/status info over.

I've just attached a fix for the assertions in layout that this page causes. I
have no idea if fixing these assertions has any effect on the linux freezing
problem or not. Even with the assertions fixed, WinNT is still very slow and
responds poorly when this page is loaded.

the assertions are irrelevant. I tested my fix on Linux and the freeze still
happens even though the asserts are gone (really fixed, not just masked.) So my
best guess is JST, since the page is using the DOM to move DIV's around for an
animation. cc-ing V.

This is really a dup of bug 34871 which is marked nsbeta2+.
