278082 - unable to open links / page crashes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Bill]

Firefox does not open links on the following URL(dutch stock exchange):
http://www.eurobench.com/koersen.asp?page=exchange&bc=AEX&kt=streaming
although Java is installed.
In IE these links work ok.

Example: click on Kon.Philips. Normally you should now be linked to details of
that stock but in Firefox nothing happens.

Regards,

Bill

The site does not work with Java, it's javascript

I saw a message about a Java Applet

I got a crash following the recipe given.

Talkback ID TB3083077H

I did catch this in gdb and which tried to claim a stack depth of over 300
frames and I suspected looping in the pthread code, but this could be a red herring.

The stack trace on talkback didn't seem to have many symbols, yet it came from
the nightly of the above build.

I enclose the stack trace from crash reporter, which I think is identical.

Confirming that links dont work, reloading the page crashes the browser (1.0).
Havent tested with trunk though.

Java Plug-in 1.5.0

Confirming on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050520 Firefox/1.0+ and crash (talkback server is down now...)

if you disable java does the problem go away?

attachment 171351 [details] seems to inidcate legitimate stack overflow (plugin induced)

I've tried the given page. The browser does not crash.. it does become unusable
(scrolling with mousewheel/autoscroll isn't working, tabs not opening up and the
process is not closed when you hit the X button).

Disabling Java fixed the problem.

-> Requesting 1.1 blocking because a Java applet practically kills the browser.
