230896 - deep crash when displaying file (includes mathml)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 218031

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Ivan Herman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

I tried to use matml with firebird 0.7, following the descriptions on
http://www.w3.org/Math/XSL/. The file I created and I tried is

http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Offices/Presentations/MathML/7.xml

I used this file on my local disc, and tried to open it with Firebird. It
crashed, but with a drama: I could not restart Firebird (any time I tried to
restart it it crashed) even after rebooting my machine. I had to delete the old
installation and reinstall it from scratch to get it working again (did Firebird
change one of its own directories). Obviously, I did not want to make a second
try on the file...

This only crashes locally? Do you have mathML fonts installed?

Comment 2

WFM on 20040114 on WinXP.

Tried on 0.7 and crashed (albeit without the dramatic aftereffect described by
the reporter).

I think this is a duplicate of bug 218031.

please try with a recent 0.8 candidate, which includes the fix in the original bug.
