215098 - when i try to download the ISO file, browser crashes

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 173204

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ricardo Espinoza]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030704
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030704

In the page http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/biatchux/fire-0.4a.iso?download
after choosing a mirror, it starts to download file, i believe it tries to open
it in the same browser because i can't see activity in Download Manager, and
then, it crashes. My got Mozilla 1.4 binaries from Dropline Gnome Systems. I use
Slackware 9.0

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose a mirror from the link i posted
2. Wait 5 secs until refresh occurs then it will start to download file


Actual Results:  
Mozilla crashed

Expected Results:  
Open the file in browser (my mistake) so i just cancel and do it in another way
(like getting the file with wget, configure the file type to get a download
window, cancel before it starts to download and use "Save link target as" to get
the file)

I'm using Slackware 9.0 with Dropline Gnome, my Mozilla 1.4 binares are from
Dropline Gnome

[Olivier Cahagne]

do you have a helper app for the .iso files ?

Comment 2

[Andrew Schultz]

the iso image is delivered as text/plain.
Your build is xft enabled, right?  If you start Mozilla from a terminal, does it
display a message when it crashes?

probably a dupe of bug 173204

Comment 3

[Ricardo Espinoza]

I don't have a helper app for ISO files.

If i start mozilla from a terminal it doesn't display an error, it just crashes.
And i don't know if Mozilla 1.4 it's compiled with XFT, is there a way check it?
Anyway, i post a message in Droplñine Gnome asking if it's compiled with XFT.

[Andrew Schultz]

type "about:buildconfig" into the URL bar.  Look for "--enable-xft" under the
Configure arguments.

Comment 5

[Ricardo Espinoza]

I checked about:buildconfig and Mozilla was compiled with XFT

For info, here's the output:

about:buildconfig

Comment 6

[Adam Hauner]

Ricardo: Are you crashing using Mozilla 1.5 RC2 or actual nightbuild? If you
still crashing, please provide TalkBack incident ID.

Comment 7

[Andrew Schultz]

XFT builds don't include talkback.  I really think this is probably a dupe of
bug 173204

I just checked the site and it's delivering the ISO images with type
application/octet-stream, so sourceforge probably fixed their servers.  Is this
bug still a problem?
