282116 - leaving site cause crash if JS is disabled [dxmasf.dll + 0xd25e (0x6c4fd25e) 36bb3e10]

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[R.K.Aa.]

going anywhere else after visiting http://pub.tv2.no/nettavisen/ seems to cause
a crash.
You may have to have the page cached to be able to reproduce. I've crashed
reliably 15 times now, by simply visiting the page and clicking a link or going
to some unrelated page from my bookmarks

This started after i installed the Mozilla trunk build from Feb 11th.
Also happens in the build from the 12th. (Both on WinXP)
But my previouis build was "old" - from Jan 15, since later builds i've tested
have had other major problems.

I have JS and Java disabled, and don't use flash plugin.

The funny thing is that i can actually go on using the browser as long as I
don't dismiss the Microsoft-crash-feedback dialogue.

adding to summary:
Turns out that the crash only happens if Javascript is disabled for the browser.

Comment 2

[timeless]

the reason you can still use the browser is that the item crashed on a thread
and windows (and beos) is perfectly happy to let the app continue as long as the
main threads are still happy (and for plugin like stuff which runs in its own
thread, that should be for a while).

Attachment: Testcase

It seems to have something to do with the mediaplayer-embed in that page.
This is maybe related to bug 243859.

Your testcase rulez ;-)

I crashed the same nasty way I crashed firsttime looking at that bug yesterday,
i.e. DocWatson comming up, and when I closed DocWatson, Mozilla didn´t close.
This time, I also had procexp.exe running, process explorer from
sysinternals.com. It couldn´t kill the surviving parts of mozilla! When I
right-clicked to kill mozilla, I got asked if I want to kill Mozilla, and on
acknowledge, the cursor moved up, but the mozilla process was still running.
Ctrl-Alt-Del didn´t work, I had to use the reset button.

crashed again today. The browser was open but i didnt use it - i was starting
media player with a DVD. Mozilla then crashed. MS media player appeared to start
playing the dvd, but the display area was black, i could only hear the sound.
Shortly after it started to hang and had to be killed. Task manager showed two
running instances og mediaplayer. I was only aware of the one i had started to
play the dvd with.

With a debug build, I get this message before I crash:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
