libpcap dump of the tcp stream that seems to have caused the crash
2.69 KB, application/octet-stream
Details 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When I open "http://www.networkcomputing.com/unixworld/tutorial/009/009.html"
(the vim tutorial by Walter Zintz, which I use rather often), Firefox shows the
following error message in a popup box:
Alert: "69.88.147.115 has sent an incorrect or unexpected message. Error Code:
-12281"
After that, the browser does not respond anymore and has to be terminated with
"killall firefox-bin" from the shell.
I use this website on a regular basis and the problem only started to occur
recently. There is a couple of fancy ads on the page, maybe one of them is
causing the problem. This means, it might not be reproducable anymore when the
ads change. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox 1.0.6 for Linux (English version)
2. Enter "http://www.networkcomputing.com/unixworld/tutorial/009/009.html" in
the location field
3. Observe

Actual Results:  
Error message shows up ('Alert' popup):
"69.88.147.115 has sent an incorrect or unexpected message. Error Code: -12281"
After that, it does not respond anymore

Expected Results:  
Display web page.

Only appeared recently, though the website has often been opened successfully in
the past.
I just noticed that eventually, the browser does respond and resume operations
normally after a waiting period of about ten minutes. (Please confirm)

WFM in branch and trunk, with flash 7 and 8 beta. Tried a lot of links on that
page. 
In 1.0.6 I got a weird message from my firewall, that Firefox wanted to send an
UDP datagram to 255.255.255.255 port 67. But no problem after that.
Oh well, a crash in trunk after a system restart: TB8630850Z
I have captured the network traffic while calling the stated URL and then
filtered out the tcp conversation with the host Firefox is complaining about
(IP address is a different one at least every day).
I don't really understand what's going on but it seems to have something to do
with one of the Flash movies, though in this conversation, only xml and html is
being transmitted.
both windows crashes are definity flash related

I see a Windows crash in the latest Flash Player beta build with the latest 
Deer Park and I'm investigating it from the Flash Player side.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I also see this crash in Firefox 1.0 and Flash Player 7r19.
This is a Flash Player bug and we will fix it in a future build (but not in the
near future). Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Macromedia dependency.
Flags: blocking1.8b5?
Darin, do you think there's anything we can do to work around this? If not, or
if that sounds difficult, then I think we don't block 1.5 on this.
Flags: blocking1.8b5? → blocking1.8b5-
This will be fixed in the next Flash Player major release, which is likely to 
be Flash Player 8.5. I've fixed the bug and tested it.

Would it be appropriate to set this bug to fixed at this point?

Note that this movie also reproduces the crash:

Michelle, if you could mark this fixed once a Flash version with the fix is released (or available as a beta, or whatever), that would be much appreciated.
This bug will be fixed in the Flash Player 8.5 release. A pre-release of the player can be retrieved from here:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/labs_flex2_downloads

You will have to create a Macromedia log-in, and then from the page titled "Flex 2 Beta 1 Release", scroll to the bottom to find "Flash Player 8.5 (Alpha 3)".

Resolution: --- → FIXED
This looks like a 3rd party fix, and not something that was checked into the Mozilla code.  If so, should be resolved as WORKSFORME instead - or moved to Tech Evangelism and kept as FIXED.
There are third parties and then there are third parties.  The resolution here is fine.
Hmm.  Must be an exception to the resolution policy I've been working with up until now. Is there a list of (I assume) "VP" 3rd parties that qualify to allow a FIXED resolution in a non-Tech Evangelism bug without Mozilla code change?  I just want to make sure I properly understand the procedure...  (Feel free to email me directly to avoid noise here if this isn't a simple answer.)
jasonb, please don't get hung up on procedures: bugzilla doesn't have precise semantics, just general guidelines.

But this doesn't help me, because there is no Linux version available.
Is there another workaround?
This is a Windows bug (as reported), and the Flash Player fix was in Windows networking code. This is not a Linux issue.

Oh, in that case there is another bug. One of my colleagues experiences freezes of Firefox 1.5.0.1/Linux on Flash content, sometimes with messages about corrupted pointers on the console. Removing the flash plugin (7.0r61) makes the problem go away. Any pointers to other flash-related bug reports?
Please file a new bug on the Linux issue and cc: me. Thanks.
