Can your browser handle this ....4.000 checkboxes?

[polonus]

Hi users of Firefox or Flock,

Test it here: https://bug477564.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=388399

My Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1) Gecko/20090806 Namoroka/3.6a1 ID:20090806165642 has no problems whatsoever, and SrWare's Iron is even faster loading all 4.000 in one go....

What is the purpose of the check ?

So I get 4000 check boxes and nothing else (NoScript running).

Hi DavidR,

The purpose of the check is that it tested a particular Fx bug that made the browser hang or performed a slow loading of that particular testing page with the 4.000 checkboxes. Other than checking for the bug it does not deserve any purpose at all. The bug was fixed according to the burning edge, where the latest fixes for Mozilla's browser nightly developer's version bugs are reported....

Loaded almost immediately for me too, with FF 3.5.2.  I was mildly interested that my Gecko version (per help/about) is slightly older, 20090729, but I presume what they show is tied into nightly builds which I don't bother with.

And I'll take your word that there's really 4000 of 'em -- I did a quick scroll, but didn't painstakingly check if there's any gaps in the numbers.

I get nothing but a message at the bottom:
Waiting for bug477564.bugzilla.mozilla.org

Nothing else.
What does this mean?


EDIT:
Got this message after a few minutes.

Software error:

Can't connect to the database.
Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.2.70.138' (110)
  Is your database installed and up and running?
  Do you have the correct username and password selected in localconfig?


For help, please send mail to the webmaster (bugzilla-admin@mozilla.org), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.


EDIT 2
Ok I wasn't paying attention. I had FF 3.51 and I updated it now. What i have at this moment is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729).

Yet still, the same thing happens.
any suggestions?

Hi ConfusedComputerUser,

Meaning too many requests for that server there. Through posting the link we could have overstressed it, because I cannot reach that particular site either. Nothing wrong with your browser, just a Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): Unknown error the server unexpectedly dropped the connection
Only if it is an overall problem, one should repair Winsock with this: http://www.brothersoft.com/winsockfix-66663.html  But not if it is like here on the server side. When you try Safari it will say: Safari can't open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. When you try Firefox, Flock or Opera you'll just get a blank page with no error message, like you reporting,

Hi users of Firefox or Flock,

I was bored so I tried it anyway.

Thank you Polonus/Damian for the added info. I appreciate the extra touch.

With the latest ff (352) on vista, all fine and dandy... EXCEPT if the name of the checkboxes includes some [] at the end... eg: name="category[]"
then it blocks for ages! 
Waiting for 3.5.3...
