260327 - Download documentation link causes crash

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[M. LaPlante]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

I confirmed this on two WinXP Pro systems running SP2 with the latest Firefox
RC1.  Go to the link above.  On that page, click the link for "Microsoft Windows
Script 5.6 Documentation for Download".  Firefox crashes bringing up the
Talkback utility.  Note that going directly to the page in that link does not
seem to cause the crash, only by clicking the link does the problem manifest.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/default.asp?contentid=28001169
2. Click the link for "Microsoft Windows Script 5.6 Documentation for Download"
Actual Results:  
1. Browser crashes; talkback utility comes up.

Weird, not sure why you can reproduce on two computers and I can't on mine.

Can you post a talkback id number?  Wherever you installed Firefox, run
components\talkback.exe and it will list numbers in there.

Can you try if it crashes with a new clean profile?

Created a new profile and it still crashes.  First time since I began using 
Firefox that I've had serious stability problems...I've experienced other 
crashes as well, but not so easily reproducible.

Alright, I did some more experimenting, and it looks like Firefox isn't the
culprit after all.  Apparently it was the plugin for AI Roboform that was at
fault.  After I removed it, the crash no longer occurs.  I'm submitting a bug
report to the Roboform people now...
