146715 - image acceptance crashes

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Graphics: Image Blocking, defect)

Description

[Pasi Koistinen]

1) Select Preferences - Privacy & Security - Images - Image Acceptance Policy.

2) activate "Ask me before downloading an image"

3) go to a page that contains a lot of images (e.g.) www.cnn.com

4) wait until you start getting image download confirmation requests:

The site ... wants to load an image.  Do you want to allow it?

5) click Yes or No , do NOT select "Remember this decision"

6) go to step 5 until your browser crashes 

I tested this with a number of different web sites.  Some sites can submit a
great number of images for inspection before the crash occurs.

Reporter, what build are you using. This is probably a dupe of 110112, but as I
read that bug the feature that is causing problems was disabled. If this is a
dupe of 110112, please mark it as such.

This feature is backed out

Yes, it makes sense to disable the feature.  I used Mozilla 1.0RC2 (2002051013);Linux.
