From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2002053012

This iPIX page will not run with Mozilla; it generates a message saying that the
plugin has performed an illegal operation and that the browser should be
restarted.  I tried the same link with Communicator 4.77, and it worked fine.  I
think this is NOT a duplicate of 134451.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to url listed
2.click on "tour" link
3.

Actual Results:  ipix performs illegal operation; dialog says to restart browser

Why exactly do you think this?  It sure looks like a duplicate....

works ok for me..i did not see the dialog. Peter, isn't it ipix's fault when 
such a dialog comes up ?

Mail from Dan:

 the traffic about the other one suggested it was a problem with the way
a particular site was built and that communicator had similar problems.  This
site works fine with communicator

That dialog usually means something cause a crash inside the plugin. However,
the testcase WFM with JRE 1.4.1 on a branch build.

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

no crash on the page with linux 1.1, no plugins.

I do not get the crash either. Looking at the code for one of the tours, here is
how they coded it:

<object ID="IpixX1" WIDTH=370 HEIGHT=290
CLASSID="CLSID:11260943-421B-11D0-8EAC-0000C07D88CF"
CODEBASE="http://www.ipix.com/viewers/ipixx.cab#version=6,0,0,2">

<!-- For MSIE 3,4+ -->
<param NAME="IPXFILENAME" VALUE="\ipix\66_Sherman_St.,_Camb._Dining_Room.ipx">
<!-- For Netscape 3,4 -->
<embed src="../ipix/66_Sherman_St.,_Camb._Dining_Room.ipx"  WIDTH="370"
HEIGHT="290" BORDER="0" PALETTE="FOREGROUND" type="application/x-ipix"
pluginsPage="http://www.ipix.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi"></embed>
</object>

It looks correct and renders correctly.

Reporter: what version of Ipix do you have? Did you instll through us or did you
install it in some other manner? Where is your Ipix dll located?
