105189 - Infinite loop of "download plugin" dialog

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Sean Harding]

http://www.geocities.com/garden_of_enchantment/GodBlessUSA/ includes a midi
file. I don't have a plugin to handle midi (thank goodness!), but on that page I
get into an infinite loop of "download plugin" dialogs. As soon as I hit cancel
on one, another pops up. Not fun.

This is build 2001101212 on Linux.

This is a dup. Let's find it.

Comment 2

[Sean Harding]

Bug 57455 looks somewhat similar, but it doesn't really seem like the same thing. 
That's the closest one I was able to find in my searches.

It looks like mozilla tries to fix some html errors
(http://validator.w3.org gives me a lot of errors for that url)
and continually reflowing  part of the page with embed tag in it.

Comment 4

[Sean Harding]

Ah, ok. If that's the case, it probably is a dupe of 57455.

Is the continual reflow a seperate bug or is that just how it's supposed to work
with horrible HTML?

Comment 5

[serge (gone)]

Continual reflow is just my wild guess,
I run debug build and got repeatable console output:
 frame: Inline(hr)(16) (0x89852e4) style: 0x87286d0 :after {}
 Wrong parent style context:  style: 0x882e3e4 {}
 should be using:  style: 0x88c3b00 {}
....
than I went to w3c validator
