758368 - Hang in nvd3dum.dll@0x6cfe92 with 3D JPS plugin

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(External Software Affecting Firefox :: Other, defect)

Description

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-f4975825-ec28-4702-a880-3639a2120524 .
============================================================= 

Prereq: 3D supported monitor and hardware

Steps:

1. Go to 3dvisionlive.com
2. Go to 3D photos
3. View Bloomberg01 --> Should see waiting to download image

Expected:

The image should appear in 3D.

Actual:

The waiting to download image appears, sits there for a period of time, but then I get a notification that a crash occurred with the plugin. Reloading the image does cause the image to appear in 3D.

What versions of Firefox are affected? Is this a new regression?

Definitely a new regression (didn't see this the last time we did 3D testing twice).

Strangely enough now, can't reproduce now on Aurora 14 or Beta 13. Checked my about:crashes though, this crash did happen on beta:

What's weirder is that the same STR to be used generate a second type of crash reports too for FF 15 and 13 respectively:

Presumably this is related to/caused by the JPS plugin installed as part of the NVIDIA stereo support software.  Do the hangs/crashes disappear when that's disabled? What version of the NVIDIA driver suite do you have installed?  

(This is about all the help I can offer with this one, I don't know anything about this area.)

Tracking for FF13 through FF15, though I don't expect we'll be able to get this fix into FF13.

A plugin hang generates two crash reports, the browser side one which is common to many unrelated hangs (see bug 633253) and the plugin side one.

The crash report tells:
AdapterVendorID: 0x10de, AdapterDeviceID: 0x1040, AdapterSubsysID: 122219da, AdapterDriverVersion: 8.17.12.9610

There are few reports (only Jason's ones):

Matthew - can you investigate further? This appears to be a recent regression, and reproducible.

Unfortunately that version number is useless to me, since I have no idea how it maps to the public driver release numbers.

I can't reproduce it in a current nightly, nor in Firefox 13.  I'm testing with the NVIDIA 301.42 drivers; about:plugins shows a version number of 7.17.13.142 for the two NVISION plugins.

Jason - can you help Matthew with reproducing issues around FF13? If there are none remaining, we should untrack.

Comment 11

[Alex Keybl [:akeybl]]

Please try to get as specific of a regression range as possible - our final beta build is tomorrow, and at this point I'd only be comfortable with a backout (if we take any change).

Comment 12

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Confirmed that I cannot reproduce this on FF 14 Beta or Nightly. Closing as a worksforme.
