Details

User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 This one took a while to figure out. When browsing that forum, Firefox would crash for no apparent reason. Turns out it happens on every page with this gif: http://home.earthlink.net/~russellcouey/AV_burningPC45.gif . (If you go directly to it, Firefox doesn't immediately crash; opening a new tab or navigating away will cause it to crash, however.) The only other Mozilla browser I can access on this machine is Netscape 7.1, and it simply displays a broken image. "...cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I can confirm this bug on Windows (but not Linux), but I have no idea if its a dupe of any other GIF bugs.
Crashes on the milestone but WFM on the trunk: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040213 Firebird/0.8.0+ Bug 229652 is one obvious candidate.
