4. Click it

6. You clock any of 2 picture
7. You are getting a pop-up windows with arrows to browse the pictures 
At this moment those arrows are working
8. You close parent window

This bug report has steps to reproduce, so it should block bug 239223 rather than being marked as a duplicate.  I don't know why Steve thought this was a support request.

Because Steve is stupid and couldn't reproduce the issue and found the repo steps to be ambiguous. So could this a Java issue?

The first time through with a debug trunk build from last night I got:

###!!! ASSERTION: You can't dereference a NULL nsCOMPtr with operator->().: 'mRawPtr != 0', file c:\work\mozilla\builds\ff\trunk\mozilla\obj-dbg\dist\include\xpcom\nsCOMPtr.h, line 849

and then hung on exit. But when trying to see exactly where the assert fired in the steps, I could not reproduce and did not experience the hang again.

Unfortunately, the site has changed now, so I'm unable to reproduce given the steps above. Resolving as INCOMPLETE.
