1069180 - Nightly: attaching file in bugzilla results in reloading all tabs and eventual hang

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1067351

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: The test file that is implicated in the problem

I'm trying to attach a small HTML file to an existing bugzilla bug.

After choosing the file in the file chooser the bug's page is suddenly displayed as "well, this is embarassing" with a "Try again" button.

When I click the "try again" button, Nightly starts reloading all my tabs simultaneously.  Files that are displayed in the PDF viewer are downloaded into the downloads folder.  The tab reload does not appear to finish; Firefox becomes unresponsive and has to be force quit'd.

I redownloaded the latest nightly and reinstalled, but the behavior is unchanged.

Build 20140917114326, Mac OS 10.9.4, 2014 MacBook Pro.  e10s is enabled.  (e10s may play a part, there were several e10s processes that appeared to be hung and had not been properly terminated as Firefox was force quit, but the problem persists also without those processes present.  The problem appears to create those processes.)

(The bug in question is 1068696 and I'll attach the file to this bug.)

More information:

- The same error ("try again") happens when attaching non-HTML content, such as a patch
- If one closes the tab that failed without clicking on "try again" then other tabs display the same
  error page
- One can close the browser at that point without it hanging if one does not click "try again",
  and reopen it properly.

Can you please check if you build includes the fix for bug 1067351 ?
(via about:buildconfig and using the build revision)

I have checked, and the build does not include that fix.  Thanks.

The next nightly should work :-)
