Description of problem: firefox 1.5 x86_64 stalls on ext javascript animations, but firefox 1.5 i686 works fine. there is some discussion that seems to indicate this is a repeatable problem here: http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8409 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL4/5 x86_64 firefox 1.5.x How reproducible: reproducible every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. load http://extjs.com/deploy/ext/docs/index.html in x86_64 firefox build 2. load http://extjs.com/deploy/ext/docs/index.html in i686 firefox build 3. compare Actual results: the 32 bit browser loads correctly, while the 64 bit browser either takes forever to finally load, or never actually loads. Expected results: consistent behavior between 64 and 32 bit browsers. Additional info: F7 firefox 2.0.x x86_64 is not affected by this problem.

Surely it works perfectly on firefox 2.* with FC7, and firefox 1.5* on slightly outdated RHEL5 (1.5.0.12-3) gives me an timeout error webpage.
err, my fault -- all my RHEL systems are i386.
Reporter, is this still reproduceable with the latest upgrade of RHEL?
with firefox-1.5.0.12-11.el5_1 on x86_64 it is slightly better, but still takes more than 30 seconds to load. Additional info: firefox3-3.0-0.beta2.2.el5 on x86_64 loads the test page in 2 seconds.
so it's fixed in firefox3-3.0-0.beta2.2.el5, right?
(In reply to comment #6) > so it's fixed in firefox3-3.0-0.beta2.2.el5, right? yes, both firefox 2 and 3 seem to function correctly.
