347667 - Quicktime plugin does not unload/stop when closing tab/window with it in it

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

To reproduce:
1. Install Quicktime to get the Quicktime plugin in your browser
2. Go to URL
2.5. Turn on speakers
3. Open any MP3 file in a new tab or a new window, maybe skip around a bit in the file and close it again
4. Go back to Step 3 if the bug does not occur (but usually this bug here can be observed at first or second try).

Actual results:
MP3 file keeps playing in background, it does not stop when closing the window/tab.

Expected results:
Stop playing of the MP3 file.

This is a regression. It looks like this regressed between 2006-06-04-08 and 2006-06-05-08.

Looks awfully close to DOM Agnostic landing.

Hrm, I cannot reproduce this bug with a Firefox trunk build though, only with a SeaMonkey trunk build I can reproduce it.

I noticed when closing the tab with the Quicktime plugin in it, I get this error in the Error Console:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Could not convert Native argument"  nsresult: "0x8057000a (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_NATIVE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/tabbrowser.xml :: updateCurrentBrowser :: line 738"  data: no]

So probably you need to use tabs to reproduce this bug and the bug might be dependent on the tabbrowser impl of xpfe/.

Firefox: 48.0a1, Build ID  20160403030243
User Agent  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0

Hi Frank,

I have tested this issue on the latest Firefox (45.0.1 - Build ID: 20160315153207) release, latest Nightly (48.0a1) build, and I could not reproduce it. The provided URL is no longer available, so for testing this I have used https://www.song365.biz/. 

Is it still reproducible on SeaMonkey or Firefox browser? Can you please retest this and report back the results? When doing this, please use a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even safe mode, to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause (https://goo.gl/PNe90E). 

Thanks,
Cosmin.

The whole world has changed, let's just close this.

Yes, certainly fine to close this from my point of view as well. No more Win2k, no more QT on Windows, no more 2006 :)
