319653 - Crash trying to read web page

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[David Feuer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Visiting http://mediamatters.org/items/200512080005 causes Firefox to crash.  This occurs even when in safe mode with all plugins disabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Enter http://mediamatters.org/items/200512080005
2.  Hit return

Actual Results:  
The page begins to load, then the browser abruptly exits.

Expected Results:  
The page is displayed.

At first I figured this was probably a problem with a video player plugin.  So I disabled all the plugin associations (asking Firefox to use external players instead), but this did not help.  So I tried Safe Mode (with the plugins disabled) and that didn't work either.

Could you install with talkback and get a talkback ID for the crash? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback

It looks like I already have Talkback installed, but the crash doesn't trigger it.  I don't get a system error either.  Firefox just quits.

Looks like my problem was with a plugin I didn't realize was active.  Sorry folks.  Suggest RESOLVE INVALID.
