285485 - moz crashes when loading this website

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041221
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041221

That URL uses some obnoxious FrontPage applets, which of course isn't Mozilla's
fault... but moz just instantly crashes when trying to load it.  I don't have
any plugins installed -- about:plugins shows only libnullplugin.so ("Default
Plugin").  Here's the output when I run moz from a terminal (it's not much):

[user][~]$ mozilla
No running windows found

(Gecko:12829): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 4423
(gtk_widget_get_style): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
/usr/bin/mozilla: line 392: 12829 Segmentation fault      $mozbin "$@"
[user][~]$

I also have FireFox installed, and in FireFox I *do* have plugins, and FireFox
doesn't crash when loading this site.  Its UA is "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit that URL
2. Watch it crash

OK, it appears that ANY website requiring a plugin causes moz to crash.

Alright, I just upgraded to a new version -- well, same version (1.7.5) but a
new build (from 20041221 to 20050309) -- and that fixed the problem.
