Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 188557

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Nikhil Kulkarni]

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

Click any link on this page which will open another pop-up window with a The
Windows Media Player(WMP) running in it. Without stopping the movie in the WMP,
close the Window (by clicking 'X' button on the top right)
One gets the message: 
"The plugin performed illegal Operation. You are strongly advised to restart
Navigator"

There are two bugs 
1. The plugin performing illegal operation
2. The message sayd 'Navigator' - it should say 'Firefox'

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click a link on this page which opens a new window with 'Windows Media Player'
2. Without stopping the movie in the WMP, close the Window (by clicking 'X'
button on the top right)
3. Thats It; you should get the error

Actual Results:  
I got a message box with the following
"The plugin performed illegal Operation. You are strongly advised to restart
Navigator"
and an OK button

Expected Results:  
1. No message window
2. Even if a message comes it should say "The plugin performed illegal
Operation. You are strongly advised to restart Firefox"

Std theme - no changes made after default installation of Firefox 1.0.4.
Have Gmail Notifier plugin installed on my system

The message is necessary to tell the user that a plugin has done something
wrong. Plugins are not made by mozilla so if they are crashing then the plugin
manufacturer should be told of this.

For the navigator issue, this bug has already been fixed.
