This bug is almost exactly like bug 314484, but brendan suggested I file a new bug rather than reopen since that bug was rather long already, and it does really seem to have disappeared (I don't see it in 1.5.0.x talkback data). We're seeing a lot of crashes with this signature: http://talkback-public.mozilla.org/search/start.jsp?search=1&searchby=stacksig&match=contains&searchfor=0xffffff4d&vendor=MozillaOrg&product=Firefox2&platform=All&buildid=&sdate=&stime=&edate=&etime=&sortby=bbid the stacks are generally: Most of the stacks are: 0xffffff4d 0x011????? (????? == varies) js_GC js_ForceGC nsAppStartup::Run main Some stack traces stop at js_ForceGC (so they're only four frames long) or js_GC (only three frames long). They're all on Windows, and the comments don't appear very useful.
Flags: blocking1.8.1?
Keywords: crash, topcrash
Severity: normal → critical
Note that this doesn't appear in Fx 2.0b1 topcrash data, so either: * it's a regression since then * it's something that only appears in nightlies (e.g., related to zip builds or some particular testing)
Flags: blocking1.8.1? → blocking1.8.1+
This appears to have gone away around a week ago.

TB22040324E looks similar, but is slightly longer. The user reports from http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=2428658#2428658 : "on http://mindfactory.de/ I just clicked through the categories on the left side and clicked on some articles... I sorted articles by price and scrolled up/down.... then it crashed. I also saw these both entries in errorconsole: Error: uncaught exception: A script from "http://www.mindfactory.de" was denied UniversalXPConnect privileges.

Steve England, thanks for adding my comment. Here's another crash report... I just got it, but I can't remember what I did :) TB22073206Z
I had problems with this too. I updated to new versions every day via automatic updates. I tried to remove directory with Firefox, download full version from FTP (FF 2.0 Branch - 20060813) and now all works fine. No crash. Problem with some automatic update?
Any idea why this crash wouldn't have occured at all between MozillaOrgFirefox2Win322006073104 and MozillaOrgFirefox2Win322006081104?

(In reply to comment #7) > Any idea why this crash wouldn't have occured at all between > MozillaOrgFirefox2Win322006073104 and MozillaOrgFirefox2Win322006081104? Could it be just that the guys who run the builds do not update every day? I do not see what changes around those days can prevent the bug from happening.

Attached file analysis of TB22112461 —
Analysis of the only 1 of the 10 incidents that I looked at that had a usable raw stack in talkback -- presumably because EBP was still good in this incident whereas in most it is 0.

Is it possible to know from a talkback how much memory the browser is using when the crash happens?
(In reply to comment #9) > Created an attachment (id=233883) [edit] > analysis of TB22112461 One more thing, does that implies that the crash happened when js_GC was trying to call js_SweepAtomState which failed due to a damaged C stack?
Has this bug disappeared as mysteriously as it re-appeared? I see no reports of crashing with yesterday's 20060815 build or today's 20060816 builds. And personally, this bug used to crash me a lot, but hasn't yesterday or so far today.
Yep.

It's back in 20060831 (1.8 branch).
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: WORKSFORME → ---
Disappearance / reappearance may be related to bug 346494 and bug 350312, somehow.
Any sign on trunk? I need to land patch for lexical catch vars (bug 336379) on the 1.8 branch still, and soon. That may have a good effect, but I'd like to know for sure. /be
For what it's worth, this seems to have come back only in a single build (although for multiple users) and then gone away again.
But then a bunch more reports in 2006-09-04-04-1.8 Firefox.
It went away, came back, and went away again. The last time it went away corresponds to the checkin of bug 350787, which I suppose could be related.
OK, worksforme again, since it's been gone since my last comment.

Since this isn't showing up in recent TB reports anymore - removing it from 1.8.1 blocker list...
Flags: blocking1.8.1+ → blocking1.8.1-
This crash popped up for one day on the trunk. (2006091304)
This may be back based on a few reports on mozillazine...here are two TBIDs: TB23488602W TB23489597X Leaving resolved though to wait a day just to see if this isn't just one person with a screwed profile or something.
This bug appears to have returned, so I am reopening this topcrasher and requesting blocking for 2.0 (previously minused because the bug mysteriously disappeared).

That address is -179. It doesn't ring a bell. Igor, any thoughts? /be
(In reply to comment #27) > That address is -179. It doesn't ring a bell. > > Igor, any thoughts? No. But it does not look for me like an integer that overwrote function pointer. It looks more like a bit pattern or a hash value. The later is probable since the crashes are around hash enumeration functions.

People who are seeing this: * does disabling extensions make it go away? Is there a particular extension triggering it? * if you have some crash logging tool other than talkback that includes a raw stack dump, a report from that tool would be useful (but just one or two -- not more). However, to be useful, I need to know *exactly* which build you were using when you crashed (and be able to get that build).
There are a bunch of crashes reported as being in js_SweepScopeProperties: either at line 1587 or 1563 of jsscope.c (line numbers on 1.8 branch, post JS 1.7 landing). I can't get more details, though, since spike is down. (Only one of them was this month, though.)
Except the one report this month was marked as line 1585.
It looks like this may have gone away on the branch with the fix to bug 353227 (and it started around the same time, too).
re: comment 30, I have crashed at 0xffffff4d with a new profile; so the only extensions installed were Talkback and Domi.
Marking worksforme, since there have been no crashes with 2006-09-26 builds and none so far with 2006-09-27 builds.

Right. RC1 is still going to show this crash because it wasn't fixed until after we built RC1.
Seems to have gone away on the trunk with the fix to bug 352520 (between the 2006-09-28 and 2006-09-29 builds).
Then again, that could just be insufficient data volume. In any case, if it's still around on the trunk, that should probably be a separate bug.
