Description

[K.S. Bhaskar]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

When I open http://weather.com (whether when launching the browser from a
command line or from an open browser window), it starts to render the page, and
then crashes (process terminates) before it completes the rendering.

There is no core file.

This happens whether or not I have Java enabled.  (Note: I have my location
enabled so that weather.com gives me a link to my local forecast.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://weather.com
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Browser crashes

Expected Results:  
Completed rendering the page

There is also a flash ad...

Reporter : do you have the latest flash plugin ? I mean flash 6.0r79 ?

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Actaully, there is no version of flash that works with a GTK2/xft/gcc 3.x build
of mozilla (if that is what you have).  "Does not work" means "crashes" in this
case....

Boris is on the right track.  I removed the flash plugin and no more crash. 
Thank you.

So...should this be resolved "worksforme" or "wontfix"...or not at all?

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

It should be resolved duplicate of the already existing bug about flash and
gtk2/gcc3.2/xft.
