Details

Firebird has become very crashy of late, specifically, from 8/4 onwards, with
sites like Infiniti.com and IKEA.com (flash based) and other sites where login
information is retrieved. I think there are several crashes here but I want to
identify where they're coming from and file bugs on the appropriate owners.
Since these crashes are all new, persistent and blocking, I'm making this a .7
stopper.
Worth noting that the first two sites only crash in opt builds, and with my
current profile.
Severity: normal → blocker
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Priority: -- → P1
Summary: Firebird is crashy → Firebird is crashy, find out why.
Target Milestone: --- → Firebird0.7
Without flash installed, both sites provided WFM Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030817 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+

(from CVS about 7 hours ago)
Installed flash, and both sites you provided seemed to work fine.  I could not
get fb to crash, but this is a non-opt debug build.
the flash crashes were fixed in 08/15+ build, a patch for bug 213390 was checked
in on 08/14.
Firebird crashes going to http://www.sol.no/underholdning/tvguiden/

re comment #5:
That is (Mozilla) Bug 210269	pageload crash [nsXULElement::SetAttr]
I got random crashed at http://www.hkpl.gov.hk
I got FB 0815-0817 to crash at http://www.xtremeplace.com/yabbse/index.php
consistently when the following line was included in my prefs.js or user.js

user_pref("signon.SignonFileName", "xxxxxxxx.s");

where xxxxxxxx is a numerical filename for the file containing various login
info. After I removed that line from the .js files, the crashing stopped. Also
worth noting that this problem doesn't affect 0818 and newer, neither does it
affect the 0.6.1 milestone.
