Description

[Michael Borland]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When I access evolvefish.com, firefox crashes without any error message.  This
problem existed in recent versions of Mozilla as well.  I think Mozilla 1.5 was ok.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Enter www.evolvefish.com in the URL entry box.
2.  Hit return.


Actual Results:  
Firefox just disappears.  No error messages.


Expected Results:  
Shown the web page.

Vanilla version with no extensions, themes, etc.

Can you submit a talkback ID? Do you see the talkback window appear at all after
the crash? Without more details, it's hard to determine what is causing the crash.

It's quite possibly a Java issue since that page contains a Java applet.

Unfortunately, there is no talkback window.  Firefox just disappears.

Does Firefox log errors to any files?  What else can I try to help track down
the problem?

Indeed.  It's almost definately a java issue.  I can't replicate it either.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

I'm having this issue on multiple sites since Version 35.0. Sometimes it crashes after seconds, sometimes after minutes on the site. I'm using an up-to-date Archlinux.
When I disable Javascript with YesScript, nothing happens.

One of those sites is

I'm sorry, I thought the date said 2014, not 2004...
How do I delete my comment?
