294385 - Crash when opening Hardcoreware page, especially in a new tab

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jesper Mortensen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Firefox 1.04 with Cute 3 theme, GMail Notifier 0.4.2 and IEView 0.84 
installed. I was on another webpage, and tried to open the URL 
http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-277-1.htm in a new tab, by right-
clicking and selecting "Open Link in New Tab". Firefox crashed.

Then I tried just opening that page directly, by pasting it into the address 
field on a newly started Firefox. It could load sometimes, and sometimes it 
crashed. Perhaps it crashes a bit more when opening in a new tab compared to 
pasting the URL in, but that could be my imagination - I tried 10 times or so, 
not enough for it to be statistically significant.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://forums.storagereview.net/index.php?showtopic=19706 and scroll 
down to post #3.
2. Right-click on the link http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-277-
1.htm and select "Open Link in New Tab".
3. See Firefox crash.

Alternatively, just pasting the URL above into the address field can also 
generate the crash, as mentioned above.

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

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

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
