256891 - www.sneakemail.com crashes Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Aero]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

I recently switched from Mozilla 1.7 to Firefoz .0.9.3. The main index page at
'www.sneakemail.com/' crashes Firefox regardless of how many tabs are open. It
loads fine with Mozilla 1.7 gecko build 20040616

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox 0.9.3
2.Direct yourself to sneakemail.com. Bookmark or typing the URL doesn't matter. 
3.Watch it crash.
4.Open Mozilla 1.7 build 20040616
5.Direct yourself to sneakemail.com.
6.Watch the site function as intended.

Actual Results:  
Firefox 0.9.3 hangs. Clicking the close button gives an error dialog box about
Firefox not responding.

Expected Results:  
The software should have loaded the page correctly and not crashed. I'm guessing
it's a problem with the website, but why would it work fine with Mozilla but not
Firefox. Sounds like a browser problem.

Reporter, please use a current branch build to verify the crash. I can't
reproduce it with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.2)
Gecko/20040822 Firefox/0.9.1+

As this is my first time reporting a bug, I'm not entirely sure what you're
looking for. This is cut & paste from the browser I'm using at the moment,
downloaded this week. 
'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803
Firefox/0.9.3'
Is there one more current I should be using?

Reporter: Please post your Talkback ID, if you get one.  (run talkback.exe after
submitting the crash info)

I've never used Talkback before, but I tried running it during and after the
crash, and it didn't pick up anything. The only 'error reporting' I noticed was
a dialog box to notify Microsoft. Sorry, no Talkback ID. If I'm doing something
wrong, please let me know.

Aero, download a current nightly build from following location:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/.1/mozilla/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-0.9/
The best for testing will be the zip version. You only have to extract the
files. Be sure to close all other threads of ff 0.9.3 before running this version.

I don't know if talkback is available in 0.9.3 but the current nightlies will
have it. The first time ff crashes you get ask if you want to turn it on. When
you start ff again you will see a talkback window with all crash data you have
to send. If sending was ok start "components/talkback.exe" and give as the
talkback id.

Sorry for bugspam but i didn't whats happened with the url i posted. :( Here is
the correct one: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-0.9/

I tried it with the latest nightly build, and it didn't crash.
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040825
Firefox/0.9.1+'
I guess that means it's a bug that's already been addressed...
