251090 - Crash while visiting NYTimes job search with LittleFirefox .9 theme

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 203041

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.1

With the theme LittleFirefox .9 active, if you visit the NYTimes job search site
(http://jobs.nytimes.com/), sooner or later (usually very soon), the browser
segfaults. I don't know if this is the only site/theme combination which causes
this or the reason for it, but I tried several other themes, navigating around
for roughly a minute a piece and never saw a segfault.

Unless it shows up in the default theme, problems from a 3rd-party theme should
be reported to the theme author.

I reported it because it seems that a theme should not crash the browser and
that it may not be the theme itself which causes the crash, but a resource or
call which it invokes through the browser.
