When browsing the above URL, a pop-up window appears.  When selecting the close 
button, the entire browser crashes.

The pop-up window appears to be using Macromedia Flash.  The site also appears 
to contain a great deal of JavaScript (or ECMA Script, or whatever).

I have seen no other problems with the Flash plugin, and it works correctly on 
the Macromedia Flash Player test page.

I have seen this in Netscape 6.2, and a colleague has confirmed it also occurs 
in Mozilla 0.9.7 (both on Windows NT/2000).

about:plugins on Netscape 6.2 gives me:
-----
File name: C:\Program Files\netscape\Netscape 6\plugins\npswf32.dll
Shockwave Flash 5.0 r41
-----

I have not seen this problem in Linux Mozilla builds.
Win2K ID2002011803
Shockwave Flash 5.0 r41

reproducible, talkback report sent, I have no idea how to link to it though..
Win2K error "log":

Attached file Stack Trace
Michael, here's your stack. So far you are the unique crasher at this
particular signature on the Trunk (build 2002011809). Can you try a more recent
build and verify the crash still occurs?
Same signature as bug 90142. Different stack, though.

Summary: Closing Flash pop-up window causes browser crash → Closing Flash pop-up window causes browser crash [@ nsContainerFrame::GetFrameForPointUsing]
I observed this in Netscape 6.2 (build id: 20011019 - Mozilla 0.9.3/0.9.4ish). 
It was Chris Veenboer who reproduced this in a 20010118 build.

After you suggested I try a more recent build, I downloaded 0.9.7 (build id:
2001122106), installed it and the latest Flash plugin from Netscape.com (still
5.0 r41), and the crash occurs there too (talkback submitted).

greer: the stack means nothing to me.  Let me know if there's anything I can do
to help.

(trying to confirm & set status -> NEW as this has been reproduced by 3
different persons)
Wanted to try this with a recent build, but the popup has gone...
Marking this worksforme because original page no longer pops up an add. If
someone (reporter?) finds a different page with this bug please can you reopen
this bug.
