User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I'm experience a problem with a tool's UI in Windows version of Firefox and
Mozilla (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3)
Gecko/20040910) and I can reliably get both these browsers to crash. A Windows
dialog comes up that says

Program Error
! <firefox.exe | mozilla.exe> has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows. You need to restart the program.
An error log is being created.
[OK]

Firefox SafeMode didn't help. I will attach the drwtsn32.log.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I have a tool that has a web interface.. and there's a SELECT input that doesn't
work: the DOM inspector shows that it has OPTIONs, there are no script errors in
the Javascript console, but the browser doesn't supply a dropdown with I click
the SELECT. If I use the keyboard to change the value of the SELECT, once I
leave focust of the SELECT element the browser crashes.

Actual Results:  
Browser crash. No feedback agent!

Expected Results:  
The SELECT should have displayed it's OPTIONs, and changed as I indicated.

If I could have Attachment 164659 [details] removed, that would be great. I left some
company info in it that I shouldn't have.

Thanks.

Seems to work fine in Linux, and Windows Server2003, though on Server2003 the
weird "no dropdown" behaviour still exists.

I were about to report a bug which I think is similiar to this one.

I originally ran in to the bug on www.newz.dk, but have now narrowed it down to
something smalle and easily reproducable.

http://www.wenix.dk/firefox/crash01.html

So far it has crashed all tested versions of Firefox:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; da-DK; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041118 Firefox/1.0
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

    
    

    
  
The feedback manager do work for me though.

    
    

    
  
Johnny:

Along with my Firefox install which matches one of yours, your crash page also
crashes my Mozilla install:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

Nice work! I couldn't figure out how to make a small test case for my broken
SELECT, but it looks like the SELECT doesn't have to be broken for the crash to
happen, just keyboard operated. I get the Feedback Agent with Firefox, but not
with Mozilla; maybe I just have it turned off.

If you attach it to this bug as a test case, you wouldn't have to host it.

Zac Jacobson, can you try if you crash also when you use a Nightly or the Deer
Park (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/)
Version: unspecified → 1.0 Branch

    
    

    
  
Still crashes for me with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Firefox/1.0.4

I am downloading Deer Park presently.

    
    

    
  
Downloaded Deer Park, and it did not crash on Johnny's testcase.

WFM: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531
Firefox/1.0+

    
    

    
  
thanks Zac, so this is working in Deer Park as on comment #16 .
