Very very different stack; reopening.  This crash also occurs on other AJAX-y sites.

Also similar to bug 305181 (in addition to bug 316114 mentioned above), but those are both fixed for 1.5; this is a topcrash in 1.5.0.1.

This is an analysis of the raw stack dump from talkback (along with talkback's info) of an occurrence of this crash.  Talkback mangles the top few frames; they do make sense in the raw data.

Is the Yahoo! Mail Beta something that's open to the public, or do I need some special way to test it?

Send me your yahoo id and I'll get you access.

There isn't enough time to get a patch baked before the 1.8.0.4 dev freeze, and it doesn't look like there's any progress. Moving out a release.

Comment 8

[Matt Seitz]

I have not seen any crashes with more recent builds of SeaMonkey.  I don't know if this is because of changes in SeaMonkey or changes in Yahoo! Mail Beta.

Comment 9

[Jay Patel [:jay]]

Not going to make 1.8.0.5 since we don't have a patch, no way to reproduce this, and there are only 20 incidents in Firefox 1.5.0.4 Talkback data (out of a 10 day sample of ~26,000 incidents).

Adding qawanted keyword to see if people can try to reproduce this with recent nightlies or Firefox 1.5.0.4.  If we can find a fix for this, we can consider it for the 1.8.1 branch and then maybe a future 1.8.0 release.

[Mike Schroepfer]

Until we get better confirmation that this issue still exists (and is reproducible) taking it off the radar for 1.8.1

I got this same stack running the Beta1 on Windows the other day - here is my talkback id - http://talkback-reports.mozilla.org/search/private.jsp?search=2&type=iid&id=20828875. My crash occurred when the machine was idle and I was not running the Yahoo beta mail, but may have had something ajaxy running.

Comment 12

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

I received a similar stack when testing the beta1 build the other day - http://talkback-public.mozilla.org/search/start.jsp?search=2&type=iid&id=20828875. Although I did not have Yahoo mail beta running, I may have had some other ajaxy application up. This happened after the Windows machine had been idle overnight.

bug reporter,

if you have yahoo messenger installed, try the new version 8.1 http://messenger.yahoo.com/ which is reported in bug 322363.

If your problem goes away then close your bug as a duplicate of bug 322363.

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Marcia do you still see this?

Ratan writes "been running Yahoo Messenger version 8.1.0.413 and FF Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6 and haven't seen these crashes. However, I don't have Yahoo toolbar installed"

Still common on talkback. Eg. TB34743573 "I was spell checking a new email within the email site and as soon as I try the spell check it crashes."  TB34738355 also has comments. 


Certainly reproducible for some people out there ... Google maps frequently mentioned, eg TB34681271, but stack trace is different  Other examples TB34666593, TB34695441 - file a new bug?? (no other bugs filed with this same top of stack nsXPConnect::ReleaseJSContext)

I no longer can get to my Yahoo Mail using my Mozilla FireFox Browser.
When I click on Yahoo Mail, I get the following errors:
  "The page isn't redirecting properly."
  "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
This was coincidental with 2 events:
  1. "I upgraded to FireFox 2.0.0.13"
  2. "I downloaded Apple SAFARI"
Before I read this page I was blaming Apple for the problem.
At least I can check my Yahoo Mail on SAFARI.
I hope FireFox fixes this (so I can brag it up again).

Don, I seriously doubt that what you're seeing is related to this bug report.

Sounds like dbaron got about as far as possible with the Talkback data.
