other random URLs.

4. click a lot with the mouse on the page you are in.

didnt.

I ran it again today. This time from command line. The only thing he spat on
the ecommand line is
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/run-mozilla.sh: line 451:   668
Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Can you run components/talkback.app and copy the incident id?
alternatively, does crash reporter pop up?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050325
Firefox/1.0+

The URL provided instantaneously crashes latest-trunk on WindowsXP Pro SP1 Build
2600. Talkback ID is: TB4610659X. I can't seem to find something to dupe this
to, so I am going to go ahead and confirm it.


I am going to clean it up some.

Adding keywords:  talkbackid,crash,testcase
Changing OS to All
Changing version to Trunk
Changing the summary to be more concise
Changing product to Core
Changing component to OJI: Java
Confirming

And, I looked again, found an UNCO (why is that UNCO?!?) that this can dupe to.
 It has more information and two dupes already.

On Windows I get a crash with Firefox 2005-03-25-08 trunk, but not
with later versions (2005-03-26-07-trunk or 2005-03-27-07-trunk).

Tested on Windows XP Pro with SP2 and all the latest updates, with
version 1.5.0_01 of Sun's J2SE JRE (also the latest version).

I have no problems with Firefox 2005-03-25-08-trunk or
2005-03-26-08-trunk on OS X (10.3.8 with latest Java and Java
Embedding Plugin 0.9.0).

The original problem seems to be the same as for bug 270522, and to be
completely unrelated to the latest problem, which seems to have been
fixed and to have been Windows-specific.

> and to have been Windows-specific

Actually, the crash happens on both Windows and Linux, but only with
the 2005-03-25 trunk nightly.  (And it doesn't happen even with that
nightly on Mac OS X.)

For more info see bug 287775 or bug 262313.
