What were you trying to do?
Go to my home page right after starting netscape (i.e. before
it goes to the home page automatically), by clicking the Home
button.
What's wrong:
netscape went into an endless polling loop, although I could
interrupt it by clicking on Stop.
What should have happened:
It should have gone to my home page.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The problem happens when my "Browser starts with" preference
is set to "Home page"; it does not occur when the preference
is "Blank page".
