When visiting the above URL and the page has loaded Mozilla crashes each time.

I tested this on Windows 98 and Linux. JavaScript has to be activated, I have no
Plugins installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure JavaScript for browser is on
2. Type URL and enter
3. Wait until the page has loaded
Actual Results:  
Crash

Expected Results:  
Don't crash

Nothing on Linux, Mozilla just disappears.
I get the following assertions on load:

###!!! ASSERTION: Weird parent in ConstructTableForeignFrame: 'parentFrame ==
aState.mPseudoFrames.mCellInner.mFrame', file
/home/bzbarsky/mozilla/xlib/mozilla/layout/html/style/src/nsCSSFrameConstructor.cpp,

###!!! ASSERTION: RemovedAsPrimaryFrame called after PreDestroy: 'PR_FALSE',
file
/home/bzbarsky/mozilla/xlib/mozilla/layout/html/forms/src/nsTextControlFrame.cpp,

Followed by a crash due to calling GetStyleData on a deleted frame.

It'd be very nice if someone could create a minimal testcase showing the crash...

Well, maybe not very necessary anymore, but since I was busy with it, and it is
a bit smaller than the other crash testcase I decided to upload it anyway.

Actually, could someone grab the JS files too and see whether you can remove
anything from those?  And whether you can inline them, for that matter?

It looks like the second JS file is somehow triggering a bug in our frame
construction code that makes everything else break.  Note that the exact crash
location will sorta depend on when you end up first referencing deleted memory,
so the signature in the summary is likely not the only one this bug will show...

All of these tags are needed, didn´t crash when I uncommented one:
<A><BLINK><FONT size=1><CENTER> 
The </CENTER> must be between the scripts, no crash if moved past the seconf script.

Hermann, see comment 7.  We know where and sorta why this crashes; what's not
clear is what triggers the bogus frame construction.

js files can even be more reduced:

var ba = '';
ba += '<'+'div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px;"><'+'/div>';
document.write(ba);


var ba = '';
ba += '<'+'table width="130"><'+'tr><'+'td><'+'/td><'+'/tr><'+'/table>';
document.write(ba);
In fact, you could even get rid of the intermediary variables in the JS files
altogether.

Also, does it matter whether you document.write a <script> or just
document.write the div or table in the original HTML?  That's the part I'm
really interested in....  (and attach the result as an attachment, instead of
pasting stuff into the bug).

Also, it's not worth it to post stacks and talkback ids.  See comment 7. 
They're just noise.
Attachment #149166 - Attachment is obsolete: true
I further removed unneeded things from Hermann's code and encountered something
perhaps interesting. With position:absolute and position:fixed the testcase
leads to a crash, but with position:relative nothing happens.
(In reply to comment #13)

document.write without a <script> and a extern .js file as src doesn't crash.
Attached file Minimal-ish testcase — 
This inlines all the scripts (using data: URIs; just putting them directly
inline doesn't work), removes the <a> and <blink> in favor of <span>, and
replaces <center> with <div>.

It looks like the two nested ib splits, the residual style, and the
document.written external scripts are necessary...  I'll try to look into this
tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Hard to tell.

We're crashing under DoDeletingFrameSubtree because the outOfFlowFrame we get is
already destroyed, so we die when calling GetStyleData on it.

Earlier up, we seem to have a <span> as a float containing block, so things are
already pretty broken at that point...
Note that I tried to wallpaper over this by adding:

   ((nsPlaceholderFrame*)childFrame)->SetOutOfFlowFrame(nsnull);

when we enqueue the out-of-flow frame for destruction in 
DoDeletingFrameSubtree, but we still crash.

Also note that my stack is not under ReflowFloat -- I crash under
WipeContainingBlock, called from ContentAppended, etc, when appending to the
<font>.  The multiple IB splits here suck.  :(
Marking blocking1.7+, although this is at risk for being minused, since we're
hoping to ship early next week.
Flags: blocking1.7? → blocking1.7+
This is a stack from the crash in attachment 149288 [details], with some additional
comments based on examining some frames in the debugger.

I think the cause of the problem is that WipeContainingBlock is being asked to
wipe an inline rather than a block (frame 20).	Does that make sense?
What's happening is that in ContentAppended, |containingBlock| is the anonymous
block for the inline element that already contains a block.  When we call
|ContentReplaced|, that's the inline, so we end up going back another level.

I think the fix involves making sure to walk up further if we have a
:-moz-anonymous-block.
I think any fix here will be too risky for the branch at this point.  This crash
is just on one site, as far as we know.
