325647 - Firefox crashes when I launch the demo by clicking on the "Click for a quick DEMO" link

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 325540

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Ryan Warnick]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

see Additional below

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.bindows.net.
2. Click on the "Click for a quick DEMO" link
3. Wait for the crash.

Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes

Expected Results:  
It definitely should not crash.  This demo application works fine in Firefox 1.5

I have done a lot of investigation into the this issue and have submitted several reports through the quality agent.  Here is what I know:

The problem appears to be with the js library (js3250.dll).  This is the library mentioned in the crash report and I have also tried substituting the js lib that shipped with Firefox 1.5 (replacing the one that shipped with 1.5.0.1) and the problem goes away.  Also, the problem can be reproduced with (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060202 Firefox/1.6a1).  Also, I could not reproduce it with the latest Mozilla nightly build (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12)Gecko/20060202), which surprised me since I thought that Firefox relies on Mozilla for most internal stuff. After digging a little more I noticed that Mozilla uses a slightly different version of the js DLL (it's size is significantly different).

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

I've had Talkback collecting this information all along.  Here is a partial list of IDs that it has generated:

This is a direct url to something that crashes now in current Mozilla builds.

It was also on trunk but something fixed it there:
1.9a1_2006020213 crash
1.9a1_2006020221 no crash
So a very recent patch.

This seems like another dupe of bug 325540.
