297879 - system reboots when i want to open big graphics

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 289864

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Vince]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl-PL; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: 

If in the page source is line:
<img src="some_pic.pic" weight=999999 height=999999> theres a problem on
WindowsXP. Windows want to allocate memory to show picture. When all memory are
full there's a reboot. "some_pic.pic" may be real a 1KB file, but Firefox want
to stretch it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just prepare the html in with line 
<img src="some_pic.pic" weight=999999 height=999999>
2. Make sure that the some_pic.pic really exist in the directory
3.




I found this problem also in Internet Explorer. Think that is a problem, because
you loose all unsaved changes, when the windows crasesh. There's only one way to
be save: Turn off downloading graphics, but nobody do that.
