2. make sure it's enabled
3. make sure you're ready to crash :)
4. load http://online.darton.edu/detection/mediaplayer_test.htm
5. if you haven't crashed yet...
6. click the noscript S it should be in the statusbar
7. click temporarily allow darton.edu
you should crash here.

Unfortunately npdsplay.dll doesn't have symbols on the ms symbol server. i've gotten 2 stacks using windbg, this one is the shorter one w/ a valid gecko frame. the other one had bad gecko frames.

According to noscript.net:

This is really a WMP/JavaScript problem, not a NoScript one. If you uninstall NoScript but disable JavaScript using the built-in Firefox interface, you get the very same error. It seems on some pages WMP plugin needs JavaScript to be enabled (with NoScript you can enable it on that site as usual, and WMP will work!).

[Giorgio Maone [:ma1]]

It may be connected the many complaints about crashes (especially on the yahoo site) with AdBlock and/or NoScript. If it so, Fx 1.5 and 2.0 are affected too.
Also bug 311933 may be related.

Comment 3

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

If this is a crash in npdsplay (WMP plugin) how is it a Mozilla bug? Is there anything we could even do on our side?

[e-mail]: someone at mozilla corporation needs to contact microsoft and ask for help.

Comment 6

[Arie Paap [:wildmyron]]

bug 506215 has a testcase which doesn't require javascript to be disabled and then enabled to cause this crash.

Comment 7

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Closing old bugs in the Plugins component. We aren't going to track issues in 3rd-party plugins in the Mozilla bug tracker. In addition, support for NPAPI plugins will be removed at the end of this year; for more details see the post at https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/

If there is a serious bug in Firefox, it needs to be filed in the "Core" product, "Plug-Ins" component.
