Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Juan C. Villa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060508 BonEcho/2.0a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060508 BonEcho/2.0a1

When you click the first "See this store's listing of blowout items" link in the Comp USA page (http://www.compusa.com/locations/store.asp?type=&state=pr) the browser crashes all together and outputs to the terminal the following error:

/usr/local/firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  5913 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Note: If you copy the link from the hyper link to the clipboard and paste it on the address bar it will take you to the page without crashing. It ONLY crashes when you CLICK on the link from the website I provided.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://www.compusa.com/locations/store.asp?type=&state=pr
2. Click on the first link that reads "See this store's listing of blowout items"
3. Viola! It crashed!

Actual Results:  
/usr/local/firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  5913 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Expected Results:  
Gone to the link directly, which it does if you copy the link to address bar manually.

Just a couple of points that you might need:

1. I'm running Firefox from the /usr/local directory
2. I have Firefox 1.5 and Swiftfox installed as well
3. I'm running Kubuntu 6.06

Attachment: The output from Firefox

I redirected the output of firefox to a text file and attached it. Maybe this file will help in diagnosing the bug. If you need any other information feel free to contact me.

I couldn't reproduce. Could you try in safe-mode and see if you still crash? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

reporter, Do you still see this problem. If you do not, please close the bug with resolution WORKSFORME, INVALID, etc as may be appropriate to your situation (but not FIXED unless you know the bug with the patch). 

If you still see problem using a current version of Firefox or trunk build, please provide additional detail.
