115774 - Loading any HTTPS websites immediately crashes browser

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Derek Wickersham]

I am using 0.9.6 and it crashes immediately when it is given any HTTPS URL.  The
crash does *not* occur when the page is loading; i.e., from something in the
HTML.  The crash occurs right when you type in the HTTPS URL and hit enter.  I
have tried several HTTPS websites and the same thing happens for all.  I have
not touched any of the SSL settings in the Privacy and Security section.

How did you install 0.9.6?  Did you use a package system?  Or the installer?  Or 
tar/gzip?  Did you install over a previous installation?  Did you install a 
newer psm version with the new mozilla version?

I downloaded three files from
/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.6/Red_Hat_6x_RPMS/i386
:

mozilla-psm-0.9.6-0.i386.rpm
mozilla-js-debugger-0.9.6-0.i386.rpm
mozilla-0.9.6-0.i386.rpm 

Then installed each separately using rpm -Uvh


I did have 0.9.3 installed prior to this.

Oops, I downloaded those files from
/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.6/Red_Hat_7x_RPMS/i386

I almost forgot, HTTPS/SSL did not work in 0.9.3 when I had it installed. 
That's why I tried upgraded to 0.9.6.

blizzard?  Could -Uhv leave stale libraries around?

works for me on linux 0.9.7 builds but I don't have the RPM builds.

Works for me, too.  Try installing all of the mozilla rpms, making sure that
/usr/lib/mozilla is empty and re-installing.
