Hi, Gecko 6 freeze trying to connect to cvs-mirror.mozilla.org... I think this bug is relied to my network proxy. Usually I must configure the network proxy parameter, but I don't known how to do that with Gecko 6. Of course Gecko should not freeze if someone doesn't configure his proxy. I include the console output of apprunner: D:\gecko\bin>apprunner width was not set height was not set The Messenger component is available. Initializing... Messenger has been bootstrapped! The Message Compose component is available. Initializing... Composer has been bootstrapped! Reading file... Reading file...Done Reading file... Reading file...Done Reading file...

This bug is fixed with M7 builds, which should be out shortly. You are correct, you shouldn't hang. For information on setting your proxy, please see bug 8559 for the current state of proxy prefs, by the way. They were working, but are basically broken now, though you can get it to work (read bug). For now, you need to manually enter the prefs into your prefs50.js file by grabbing them from your 4.x prefs.js file.
Verified with 6/21 M7 builds. Pulled network cable out, and browser still came up.
Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for Browser. Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do this in a bulk change. If this happens, I will fix. ;-)
Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.
