Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: One time setup: 1. Create in your bookmarks toolbar a new folder "crash" 2. Add to that folder the following sites: - http://www.hebdolinux.org/ - http://www.varlinux.org/vl/html/modules/stories/ - http://www.varlinux.org/vl/html/modules/stories/redirect.php?storyid=6565 - http://www.varlinux.org/vl/html/modules/stories/redirect.php?storyid=6561 To crash the browser: 3. Open all links in tabs 4. Now use the "X" to close tabs 5. When you close the "FT" link, the browser will crash Actual Results: Firefox will crash Expected Results: Firefox shouldn't crash I am using the build from Mozilla's site. The following error shows on the command line: ./firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 451: 22529 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"} Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-12-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-12-*" to type FontStruct

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041023 Firefox/1.0 I opened just the second link in a tab and closed it with [X]:Crash ->NEW OS->ALL

Attached is the HTML page that apparently is the cause of the crash. The test case can be performed as follows: 1. Open Firefox 2. Open file & load the HTML 3. Close the browser 4. The "feedback agent" will start to signal a crash Same effect can be created by opening the file in a separate tab, then closing the tab.
Even simpler to run testcase: 1. Open the link above "The HTML page that causes the crash" in a separate tab. 2. Change to the new tab and close it with 'X' 3. Firefox will crash
unable to reproduce this with the latest windows XP branch build or the latest linux branch build.
(In reply to comment #5) > unable to reproduce this with the latest windows XP branch build or the latest linux branch build. The 2004-10-25 Branch build does seem to solve the problem. I also re-tested with 1.0PR to double check it still crashes and so it did... So I guess one of the latest fixes you guys did took care of that. Thanks!
