Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Long Zheng]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041010 Firefox/0.10

This bug occurs very often (once every 2 minutes) and happens unpredictably.

This bug happens on all webpages. Involves clicking a hyperlink, and before 
the page updates/refreshes, Firefox crashes with an "ntdll.dll" error. This is 
no predictable link between all my crashes (I've had about 50 so far) most of 
the time it seems to be after when I've used the browser or browsed several 
pages.

Also this problem is not only restricted to clicking links. Events such as 
scrolling, typing (this bug report even caused a crash) all have caused 
several crashes. I'm not sure whether these are linked.

I have already tried a variety of setups. Using both official nightlies and 
Moox's builds. Also tried different builds between weeks. All seem to have the 
same effect. I've been a year long Firefox user, and this is the first time 
I've seen this bug. Only started noticing it this week.

I've checked all my system files and has reinstalled SP2, which should replace 
all the system files back to the original state.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any website
2.Click randomly on URLs
3.Repeat until crash

Actual Results:  
Firefox crash

Expected Results:  
Firefox not crash

typing)

If some are thinking my ntdll.dll is problemed or has a virus:
1. I've already replaced it with original file
2. No other programs are suffering from any problems

Comment 1

I've downloaded 14/10's trunk build and have used it for a good time, no signs
of any crashing or errors as of yet.

Note: I've tried 14/10's branch build, but it was not the one I included in my
build identifier. So this is a fair comparison.

After using it a while longer, the crash with the same error has occured.

This bug applies to both trunk and branch of 14/10 builds.

Using quite an old build (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.7) Gecko/20040815 Firefox/0.9.3 (MOOX M1)), I am still having crashes.

I have also tried reinstalling XP in a seperate folder, it was still crashing.

I resolved the problem by changing CPU.
