Description

[Seth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040403 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040403 Firefox/0.8

When I visit http://fraghouse.beyondunreal.com/colours.html and try to scroll
down the page firefox will crash.  It does not give an error message or hang or
anything.  The program simply closes the window and any other firefox windows
you may have going.  The error occurs independantly of wether you scroll down
with the mouse or with the scrollbar.  This error will occure EVERY time I try
to visit this page.  It also occurs randomly at http://deviantart.com when
browsing around.  

A reinstall of redhat has not solved the issue nor has reinstalling firefox or
creating a new profile.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the page.
2. Try to scroll down.
3.

Actual Results:  
Program closes it's self.

Expected Results:  
Scrolled down the page.

The error occurs independantly of weither I have my extensions enabled or not,
and I am not using any custom skins etc.  Deleting my profile and creating a new
one has done nothing.  I am using red hat 9.0.  I only experience this issue on
my linux machine, no problems under windows.

Firefox/0.8.0+

Marking as WFM, 0.8 is outdated, please reopen only if you can reproduce this
with an nighlty build and a fresh profile.

I wonder if this needs to be tested on the AVIARY_1_0_20040515_BRANCH /
MOZILLA_1_7_BRANCH too...

Also Jose, the reporter was using Linux. Your WFM comment on Windows 2000 is not
sufficient to mark this as WFM.

I downloaded the nightly build ( Build Identifyer: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040518 Firefox/0.8.0+ ), and created a new
profile.  The problem persists.

Here's the incident ID that the NetScape Quality Feedback Agent lists after I
send the report: TB58607K

Sorry about that.  I should have included that in the origional post.  Is that
all you need?

call stack is

Looks like bug 224773
dupe of bug 180309 ?

Reporter, please look at possible workarounds in these bug reports and mark as
duplicate if you agree with that.
