164950 - Crash on loading www.publicfiles.com [@ nsIDocument::GetIID]

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[u27431]

1) Type www.publicfiles.com into location bar and hit enter.
2) Site starts loading, pops up on, then another small window (the latter trying
to load losangelestimes.com or something like that).
3) Mozilla crashes.

Reproducible the 5 times I tried it.  This is on a newly installed 1.1 using my
old 1.0 profile (probably actually dates back to a 0.9x milestone but it's been
fine).  

Talkback doesn't seem to be working on my install (RPM version) so I haven't got
crash data.  I tried installing Talkback manually via XPI (as root) and it still
doesn't seem to kick in.

Note: I reached this originally by typing "ttttt" into the location bar and
hitting enter (Internet keywords disabled, Google default search, don't know if
that's relevant).

If someone has some idea how to get Talkback running I'd be happy to repeat to
get crash data.

Guessing "Layout" but I have no clue really.  Maybe some funky Javascript.

Sorry... step 2) should read  "pops up one", not "pops up on".

Attachment: gdb backtrace (non-debug CVS, Linux)

verifying. Some kinda loop. Doing an additional "step" the program actually
exited normally:

(gdb) step
Single stepping until exit from function GetIID__11nsIDocument,
which has no line number information.

Program exited normally.
(gdb)

I have seen this bug before (same page, Verisign is evil, etc., different URL),
but I can't seem to find it now.

Anyway, worksforme with linux trunk build 20020827.  After opening the two popup
windows, it got stuck for a bit (10 seconds?) and then was ok.

Not inside layout. Event Handling?

Been awhile since someone saw this crash...mark WORKSFORME?

[Neil Paris]

Marking WORKSFORME based on comments, plus reporters build is quite old.

Also tested again with 1.7 RC1, allowed the popups and got no crash.

Reporter, please download a recent build from mozilla.org and if you can
reproduce, please reopen this bug.
