(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Frederic Bezies]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041017 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041017 Firefox/1.0

I don't know if this bug is related or duplicate of bug 255732.

It is simple to reproduce : go to this url (it is french speaking, sorry :), and
firefox says it blocked a pop-up window.

In the middle of the page, you can see some article, and try to click on "Lire
la suite" (reading the full article).

Firefox starts loading, and then freeze / crashes.

Talkback ID : TB1353721H

This talkback was produced with official nightly firefox from 16 of october.

I am seeing this bug for two / three days :[

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build a nightly of firefox (my last homemade one is based on aviary code
up-to-date at midnight mozilla.org time on today) or grab a young nightly
2.Go to this site
3.Click on a link saying "lire la suite"

Actual Results:  
Firefox commits suicide :[

Expected Results:  
open the new page ?

I am using a custom userContent.css based on this page
(http://users.pandora.be/stef.andries/mozilla/AdBlocking.htm) advices.

Crashes happens in both my translated (thanks to B.Smedmerg) and the english
speaking one as well.

Sorry if it is a duplicate :[

I didn't crash, but I did get this message

###!!! ASSERTION: invalid divisor: 'Error', file

I made a mistake in my original comment ; it could be a duplicate of bug 255372...

/me slaps himself for the bug number mistake.

Also, Ben, can you test with an aviary based build under OS-X to see if there is
a crash / freezing ?

Thanks ;)

Same thing here. It seems to be produced by the re-rendering of the webpage when
the info message is turned on. When you click a link, the info message goes off
and there seems to be a re-rendering of the webpage before entering the next
one. This is when it crashes for me. The workaround I found was to turn the info
message off for the pop-up blocker.

This is a VERY serious bug and should be a RC1 blocker.

This does not always appear to crash.  On my system Firefox just freezes
completely.  The only think I can do is close all the windows, but then Firefox
is still running using zero CPU so I have to manually end the process before I
can re-launch.

This happens on any link from any SITE with popups that are blocked.  It is not
related to this specific site.

These crashes and/or freezes do not only occur with the blocked popup
notification bar.  The exact same thing happens with the Blocked install
notification bar.

I suspect the fix for bug 227361 of being the culprit here.

These crashes/freezes did not occur with the October 15th nightly, but did occur
with the tinderbox build from October 15th 7:27 PM Mozilla time.

These

are the checkins made between the 2 builds.  Although there is a checkin
effecting popups, this would appear to be the only chekcin that would effect
both the popup blocker and the blocked install notificatin bars.  It appears
that when you click on the link, the bar disappears and the page reflows and
that is when the hang or crash occurs.

This is a dup of bug 264683, but I don't have priviledge so someone else needs
to mark is as such.

As per comment 2, I downlaoded the latest PR, and followed the instructions
in comment 1, nothing unusual happened, though I didn't see any messages about
pop-ups
