309970 - Consistent crash in nsFrameManager::CaptureFrameStateFor() on espn.com

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[jhp (no longer active)]

Using the nightly Firefox 1.5 builds (after beta 1), I have consistently gotten
a crash in nsFrameManager::CaptureFrameStateFor() while browsing espn.com.  To
recreate:
1) Go to college football section of espn.com (see URL).
2) After it has loaded, click on any link.
3) After that had loaded, click back.

When the main college football page is reloading, I will always get a crash in
nsFrameManager::CaptureFrameStateFor().

I searched bugzilla, but the only bug I saw crashing in a similar place was bug
288763.  But that one had a different scenario.  Don't know if they have the
same root cause.

Still see this.  It would be odd if this were Mac only.  Attached is the Mac OS
X crash log.  There should also be several Talkback reports on this issue,
under my email addr.

I just did a talkback search for "CaptureFrameStateFor" and found hundreds of
crash reports on that address, many of which specifically mention "espn.com". 
So I'm not the only one seeing it, and it is cross platform.  And this has been
going on since at least FF 1.0.x.

What's interesting, though, is that I cannot recreate this on my dual processor
Power Mac at work, but I see this on a Mac Mini and on a Powerbook.  So it may
be timing related.

CCing some devs who have touched that file in the past.

I can no longer see this with later branch builds. ->WORKSFORME
