I tried the same thing on Fedora with version 10.0.4 it doesn't crash (redirects to some site that looks like it came from Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky"). I heard of a FF extention that does something like that but to my knowledge I don't have it installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start firefox 2. type in "gfx/" 3. press enter Actual Results: It crashed Expected Results: a redirect, or an error that that site doesn't exist (or that it is a malformated url). I'm not sure if this is a Mac only bug or a 1.0.5 only bug. After looking for similar bugs I found this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275164 But I highly doubt that it has anything to do with my problem. I haven't tested out other forms of "some-text/", but my guess is that that too would crash it. I originally thought that this may be able to cause a denial of service... but it can't (with what I tried): <html> <a href="http://gfx">link</a> <a href="gfx/">link</a> <a href="gfx">link</a> </html> If you have any questions / remards - feel free to email me. - Mick
I couldn't reproduce the bug on either of these builds: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050719 Firefox/1.0+ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6 Instead I was redirected to http://www.gfxartist.com/.
Summary: crash on malformated url → crash on malformated url
Ok, thats weird. I tried on another box (iMac) with 10.0.5 (forget what build) - and it crashed. I went home and i tried it (on my pbook where I originally had that problem) and I was redirected. Thats just strange. :-/ - Mick
Ok, I managed to crash it again. This time I put a space after gfx/ so it looked like: "gfx/ " 15'inch pbook running: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5 Try that, and let me know if it crashes your FF. - Mick
Sorry to keep posting - but now it works again (oddly enough). It is only reproducable 1/4 of the time that i try it now. I'm not sure what is causing this. Should I submit next time via Talkback? Would that give you more info as to what could be causing this? - Mick
absolutely, although you could attach a Crash Reporter log if you have one handy
Could this have anything to do with the fact that there is a gfx folder in the mozilla source? I don't know why it would but I thought I should point out the coincidence.
Sorry for the delayed response. :-) I'd like to attach my crashlog for this. The complete crashlog is too big to put as an attachment. How can I see which part is this particular bug? Console.app tells me: 2005-07-19 06:32:09.634 Talkback[13869] Could not find image named 'firefox'.

This is the Talkaback agent complaining, which means you migh have submitted Talkback incidents. Next time it crashes, take a note of the submitted incident numbers, and report them here. > The log file starts with: > > ********** > > Host Name: pbook > Date/Time: 2005-05-09 18:47:24.455 -0400 > OS Version: 10.4 (Build 8A428) > Report Version: 3 > > Command: firefox-bin > Path: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin > Parent: WindowServer [25379] > > Version: 1.0.3 (1.0.3) > > PID: 3894 > Thread: 9 > > Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) > Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000018 > > Thread 0: > > ... > > I want to pinpoint this exact bug.

Move the firefox crash log out ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/, and crash again to get just one crash in the log. Then attach the file.
I can't reproduce this so, I'm changing the status to WFM
