1790550 - Crash when accessing http://. or https://.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: DNS, defect)

Description

[baladoramiro+github]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0

Steps to reproduce:

Write http://. or https://. in the url bar and hit enter.

Actual results:

Firefox crashes.

Expected results:

Since the dns tree root "." does not have an A or AAAA record, it should follow the same behavior as if the name could not be resolved. The page saying "Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at ." should appear.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Networking: DNS' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I cannot reproduce a crash on a release bug. On a debug build there is a crash.

Are you using a debug build?

I don't believe I am using a debug build, though I might be wrong.

I am using this AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-nightly-bin

Which seems to get the binary from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2022/08/2022-08-27-17-34-11-mozilla-central/firefox-106.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

I don't know if this is enough to determine whether I am using a debug build or not.

Is this still happening? No crash for me, even in debug builds.
Do you have any crash reports in about:crashes ? Please let me know if you can still get this.

Correct, it does not happen anymore on nightly 108.0a1.
