Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 313400

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Kai Blaschke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060916 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060916 Firefox/1.5.0.7

Firefox crashes with signal SIGSEGV at 0xb5d1e010 in NSGetModule() when executing some JavaScript Code to switch a tab within the TYPO3 backend, specifically when editing a news entry of the tt_news extension. The output w/backtrace from gdb is attached.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in to a TYPO3 (3.8 or 4.0) installation containing the tt_news extension.
2. Edit a news entry containing some images, and select the "Relations" tab.
3. Save the document while the "Relations" tab is still selected.

Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes when the new page loads. Sometimes it crashes when just clicking on the "Relations" tab, but this is rare.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should display the website without crashing.

This crash happens with all Firefox 1.5.0.7 builds at least on Linux and Windows. I have reproduced this bug with the following configurations:

Firefox 1.5.0.7 Linux on Gentoo Linux (~x86 arch)
Firefox 1.5.0.7 Windows on Gentoo Linux (~x86 arch) with Wine 0.9.21
Firefox 1.5.0.7 Windows on Microsoft Windows XP Professional with SP2

I have also tried different TYPO3 installations, both 3.8 and 4.0, with the above results. If access to an appropriate TYPO3 installation is needed by a developer to reproduce the problem, please contact me by e-mail, and I will give you a login.

This is fixed in Firefox 2 and later, and will hopefully get fixed in Firefox 1.5.0.8.
