OK, I can't reproduce this after disabling the Leak Monitor extension. Is that the same for everyone else who can reproduce this bug?

dbaron, this doesn't occur for me if I disable your extension, but I still assume Gecko is doing something wrong, correct?

I can confirm this. After disabling the Leak Monitor extension all works fine.

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Hmm...  Do you have some other extension (like adblock) installed?

Comment 6

[Daniel C]

Actually, I should have tested more thouroughly. When the crash went away after disabling the Leak Monitor extension, I assumed that it was the trigger. However, creating a clean profile with that extension didn't show the crash.

For me at least, a clean profile, the Leak Monitor extension, and the Nightly Tester Tools extension are needed to reproduce.

A crash that is triggered by 2 extensions may seem an edge case, but both of these extensions are common in nightly build users now.

Can someone else confirm that a clean profile with these 2 extensions crashes on quit, but disabling one or the other makes the problem disappear?

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Links to those extensions?

No. 

Firefox Trunk, clean profile + Leak Monitor extension + Nightly tools extension -> Firefox crashes after I close Firefox.

Firefox Trunk, clean profile + Leak Monitor extension -> no problem with stability.

Leak Monitor 0.1.2, by L. David Baron, released on May 2, 2006 - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2490/

Nightly Tester Tools 1.0.2, by Mossop, released on May 5, 2006 - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/958/

Those are the 2 extensions I used to reproduce this bug using the Minefield build stated at the top of this reply.

Thanks Pavel.

When I install Nightly Tester Tools and start up, I get a barrage of threadsafety assertions and JS stack dumps from XPConnect.  Then my build deadlocks.  This is all without any other extensions installed.  In particular, without Leak Monitor installed.

Whatever Nightly Tester Tools is doing here is NOT safe and WILL cause crashes, generally speaking.

Fx crashes on quit with a clean profile + Leak Monitor extension 1.3, no other extensions or themes.

That may be the case and I've contacted you directly regarding this. But I don't believe that it is the source of this bug. Fixing the leak from NTT does stop this crash from occurring. Additionally uninstalling NTT and installing another extension that leaks something in the main window means that the crash continues to happen.

Both of these were leaking through adding a preferences observer and never removing it.

Attachment: Extension that leaks and causes crash

This is a simple extension that leaks a preferences observer. With just this extension and the Leak Monitor installed Firefox will crash on exit.

I can confirm that this extension also causes a crash on shutdown with Leak Monitor installed.

bz: i'm hitting this for each update i've done i have domi, leak monitor and talkback.

Comment 17

[timeless]

once i disabled leak, i stopped crashing. but boy, what a waste of time. next time i'll just download my own current minefield instead of trying to use the app updater

Comment 18

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Dave, thanks for the test extension!

So the basic idea is that we're doing a load of leakmon.jar!/content/leakAlert.xul after the layout module has shut down.  So the security manager pointer in nsContentUtils is null, and the security check in nsCSSLoader crashes.

Perhaps leak monitor needs to observe quit-application or something like that and not trigger after that?

Comment 19

[David Baron :dbaron:]

I added the quit-application check in leak-monitor 0.2.0.  But it really seems like the code probably ought to have the necessary null checks for this; there are potentially other things that could just happen to happen at certain times, although maybe it's rarer happening after xpcom-shutdown.

I think you can close this bug.
Extension hasn't been updated for a while.
