1050210 - Crashes [@ CrashReporter::GetExtraFileForMinidump(nsIFile*, nsIFile**) ] with e10s

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Content Processes, defect)

Description

[(not currently active) Ted Mielczarek]

I hit this crash twice this morning:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/cc960924-4e5e-4fcb-81fa-9b8f72140807
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/4125aeef-9acd-42ef-821d-8a60d2140807

I'm using e10s autostart on Windows. It looks like I'm hitting plugin hangs, and something isn't configured right in the content process so it crashes while trying to handle the plugin hang. I also seem to get a Windows Error Dialog as part of this, maybe from the plugin's plugin-container after the content one dies?

Moving to M3 milestone. These bugs affect e10s dogfooding but Brad and Gavin did not think they were M2 blockers.

I think this can wait until the plugin work is complete. We currently end up with the PluginModuleParent in the first child process, which spawns the plugin in a secondary child container. PluginModuleParent tries to spawn plugin-hang-ui.exe, and things go south from there.

When I go to www.trademe.co.nz it hangs and flashes up top then comes up with tab crashed all the time hope you can fix it soon.
I am running adobe flash 15.0.0.152

I can repro this crash about 90% of the time when simply loading this website: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sjcsj-san-jose-marriott/  So, perhaps they have something interesting going on with flash on that site. Flash version: 15.0.0.152

I'm not seeing this crash in fx 37 anymore:

https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/signature/?product=Firefox&signature=CrashReporter%3A%3AGetExtraFileForMinidump%28nsIFile*%2C+nsIFile**%29&_columns=date&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform&_columns=reason&_columns=address&page=1

Looks like this may have been resolved via plugin work over the last month. Both reporters were using Windows.
