271061 - Page crashes browser

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ciboman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616

Clicking a link (loading the page..?) crashes mozilla browser.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit "http://www.ebay.de". Now search for "chronicles".
2. In the resulting page, click on the link "PC- & Videospiele" under the
category of the same name "PC- & Videospiele".
3. Now, when clicked, mozilla crashes.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla crashes. The browser vanishes, the process, too.

Expected Results:  
The browser should stay stable, whatever content is delivered to it.

I think this bug is minor, but also it can be of value because other pages could
possibly crash because of the same bug.

Now, right after I have posted the bug request, the bug vanished. Please leave
this bug request open for a while, since I will test on it again.

Comment 2

[Ciboman]

Right now, the browser crashed again on the above mentioned page.

Firefox 0.8 and Mozilla 1.6 do not crash.

Comment 5

Works for me on Linux 1.8a5. Reporter try a newer build or post a stacktrace.

Well, ummh, it could have some interference with the toy factory theme or
optimoz.. what is unlikely, but the page did not crash when I tried mozilla 1.7
with another login.

I'm confused about this bug and will test again later.

BID: 2004112105

Filing bugs against a reasonable new 1.7.x is valid, as 1.7.x is the stable branch.
The bug is filed against Linux, how can you verify it is working on Linux?
It´s nice to know, that 1.8a5 (latest, not oldest nightly) doesn´t crash,
at least on my Win98, don´t know if it crashes on other Windows (there are
differences) or Linux (there are differences too).
Though Mozilla is a cross-platform browser, that dooesn´t mean bugs must be the
same in all builds.

WFM with BuildID 2005011102 on Debian GNU/Linux unstable.

Note that since ebay is not static, the offending content may simply have
disappeared.  In the future, when reporting crash bugs, it would help to save a
copy of the offending page(s).

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
