269634 - crash when I click submit to send a gmail reply

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Candace]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: firefox 1.0pr

Not always, but often enough to be annoying (3 times yesterday)my browser
freezes then crashes when I'm submitting a reply to gmail.  The send does not
finish.  All apps running in my taskbar crash, so far including other instances
of firefox I have open, msword, photoshop, and my explorer.  (I use multiple
tabs and windows of firefox and all freeze/crash.)  I can still access apps
available on my desktop.  A reboot seems to give me another window of time but
the reply is gone.  I had the Rbot.vc worm and cleaned it and have now updated
to Firefox 1.0.  We'll see if it happens again.

I dont think its anything more than having too many tasks open, gmail is heavily
reliant on javascript which takes up a fair whack on processing power on
firefox's part. Try closing a few other programs.

Reporter, is this still an issue? Please retest with a nightly build

No, this hasn't happened in a long time.

I am not having issues with this in either 1.0.1 Milestone, or any of the last
weeks nightlies, including 20050325.  Since the reporter has indicated that they
are no longer having the problem, and because I am not having the issue, I am
going to resolve this WFM.  I did notice that if other apps are crashing as well
as indicated in the description, it would appear to be caused by something other
than Firefox, anyway.
