124309 - XPI install stops 3/4 way through download

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Installer: XPInstall Engine, defect)

Description

[mozbug1]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020415



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.8/linux-xpi/talkback.xpi
2. Accept the install
3.

Actual Results:  download stalled when progress bar was about 3/4 done.  I
couldn't cancel it (bug 84461) except by quiting mozilla, which gave me:
/usr/local/mozilla0.9.8/run-mozilla.sh: line 72:  2130 Segmentation fault     
$prog ${1+"$@"}

Anyway this happend again and again, so I download the file locally and tried to
install it by going to ftp://localhost/talkback.xpi but it stalled in the same
place!

Expected Results:  The talkback should have been installed.

I was able to install it by going to
javascript:InstallTrigger.startSoftwareUpdate("file://download/talkback.xpi")

This doesn't appear to be a dupe of any bug that I was able to find, but may be
related to some.

Should this component by xpidl?  I'm not sure.

Nope. It now works with 1.0 rc1 on linux.
