Since the last couple of days, when scrolling through a large page (often
quickly) Firefox often crashes.

Just to say that I can reproduce this 100% of the time. Just have a page with
the scrollbar, grab it with the mouse and move up and down quickly.
Different steps to reproduce, but same stack, are in bug 304909.
Depends on: splitwindows

seems to be only an XP issue, can't reproduce on win2k

Managed to crash a fresh profile with that test case in a matter of seconds
(trunk build 2005081702).

Couldn't reproduce on the latest branch build (2005081703)
Same crash for Seamonkey trunk build 2005081612 on WinXP. Try
http://www.mistral.hu/arlista_kozos.html (from bug 304837) and scroll up+down.

Installed previously nightlies and this first appears on the 14th.
can reproduce using august 17th, 2005 build.
I'm going to go ahead and say that this is unrelated to the split window work.
This is a crash in nsWindow, which is widget code, not really realted to
nsGlobalWindow, which is what was split.
No longer depends on: splitwindows
So what's the regression date and time range here?  That is what is the
timestamp on the last build that works and the first build that doesn't?
Flags: blocking1.8b4?
This is no. 3 on the trunk topcrashers list. This does not appear on the 1.8
branch, talkback data suggests this started on the 14th (however it maybe that
talkback has dumped any data before that date).

Hopefully that helps narrow down the regressor.
The point is, Dave seems to be able to reproduce this reliably, so perhaps he
can provide precise time data here...
Yeah, that could have done it...  ere, roc, any ideas here?
Blocks: 297561
Could not reproduce in a build from immediatly before bug 297561 but could in a
build immediatly after so thats almost certainly the culprit.

SetMouseTrailerWindow gets called with a bogus nsWindow* in
nsWindow::DispatchMouseEvent. I found a possible culprit: GetNSWindowPtr() used
to get the window ptr is seriously flawed. It can retrieve a pointer of any
nsWindow in any process (for example a Firefox window from SeaMonkey).
Dereferencing such pointer of course doesn't work all too well. Pondering
possible solutions..
Attached patch Patch v1Splinter Review
This patch adds the process ID to the property name when getting and setting
the nsWindow ptr into the property list of the native window. With this I
couldn't reproduce the crash anymore. Could someone else test it too?

Ah, that might explain why I see the problem so much. I always have an instance
of xulrunner running with chatzilla in it.

Patch works for me, excellent job.

Does this also fix bug 304909?

Not sure if it's related, but I had a crash in Tbird today which might have
something in common: TB8566968X

Yes, this will probably fix bug 304909 too.

Checked in to trunk. Requesting approval for branch. This is needed before the
