Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(External Software Affecting Firefox Graveyard :: Flash (Adobe), defect)

Description

[Janine Sisk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

There is something about the Washington Post site which crashes Firefox.  It's a little bit random so I expect it is an advertisement.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the above URL.
2. Click through the pages.  One of them will always cause a crash shortly after the page loads.  Page 4 is your best bet.

Actual Results:  
I get a crash and an offer to send details to Apple, which seems unnecessary.  I tried to find a Talkback build to download but was unable to locate one.

Expected Results:  
Display the page so I could read the article?  Switching to Safari to read WP stories is getting old.

Here is what shows up in the console.  I will attach the crash log also.

Attachment: Crash log

I edited out all but the most recent crash - the file went back to 2005, probably not too useful. ;)

confirming based on other stacks I've seen.

UTR with latest internal player build for what that's worth.

jeff, I'm UTR (so far). 

I'm using 2.0.0.3 release candidate built on 20070309 on mac os x 10.4.9 intel
with flash 9.0 r28, and I haven't reproduce it yet.

janine, do you still see this crasher?

Comment 5

[Janine Sisk]

I now have 2.0.0.2 and no, I don't see it either.  I don't know whether that's because the problem is fixed, or because washingtonpost.com has changed all their advertisers and the ad that was causing the crash is not there anymore.  But regardless, I guess you can close it since none of us can reproduce it.  Or do you want me to do it?  I don't know what the protocol is around here.

Janine, thanks for the response.

I'm going to mark this as WORKSFORME, based on your comment (and Jeff's comment), but if you see it again, please re-open.

Version and milestone values are being reset to defaults as part of product refactoring.
