234305 - Crash if a JPEG as stylesheet and not iso-8859-1 as charset

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Pasi Ruhanen]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

Firefox for win32 crashes if a JPEG image file is used as a style sheet. In my
test case, the image is called "crash.css" and the server is giving text/css as
the content type.

However, the crash does not occur if iso-8859-1 (used by default) is used as the
charset. Others, e.g. iso-8859-15 and utf-8 make Firefox crash.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a page with a JPEG as the stylesheet.
2. Make the page use e.g. iso-8859-15 or utf-8.
3. Visit the page.

Actual Results:  
Firefox crashed.

Expected Results:  
The page should have been displayed normally -- of course without styles since
the CSS file wasn't valid.

This only happens on win32. Mozilla Application Suite doesn't seem to crash, so
the issue is only Firefox-specific.

Works for me Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a)

Can you try making a fresh profile and seeing if the crash still occurs?

Yes, it does. The profile doesn't seem to make any difference here.

I tried the newest trunk build and this seems to have been fixed there.

Fixed means there was a change made to the code for this bug. There was not.
Reopening and resolving worksforme.
