283073 - Floating point exception when visiting http://www.debian.org/

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Robert Uhl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I don't believe that I've tried visiting Debian's site recently (since upgrading
to Firefox 1.0); when I tried to go to www.debian.org Firefox downloads enough
to set the title bar (but not display anything but white) and grabs the favicon,
then crashes.  The entire console session looks like:

$ firefox
(QFA)Talkback error: Can't initialize.
/usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 451: 29498 Floating point exception"$prog"
${1+"$@"}

I have clear cache, history and cookies, and have disabled every extension and
the problem still persists.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Enter www.debian.org in Location field
2.  Watch Firefox display Debian title in window titlebar
3.  Watch Firefox display favicon
4.  Watch Firefox crater:-)

Actual Results:  
It crashed completely, leaving no running instance.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the Debian page:-)

Using the default theme.  Built firefox RPM using Thomas Chung's data (Thomas
Chung <[e-mail]>).

Silly me--the number is just the process ID, so it's different with every crash.

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.
