Calling goQuitApplication() makes Firefox crash.

Since I use goQuitApplication for automated testing, this crash makes it very hard for me to do automated testing on Gecko to find security holes, regressions that cause crashes, etc.

I initially reported this as a comment in bug 343033, but hwaara said I should split it because the stacks are different.

The testcase needs privs, so it should be saved and loaded with a file: URL.

The problem is the static gHiddenWindowMenuBar is used after the hidden
window has been destroyed.

GetHiddenWindowMenuBar() doesn't seem to be called that often so I think
we can look it up every time.

The change in nsAppShellService.cpp is just to remove a warning:
WARNING: requested removal of nonexistent window: file nsWindowWatcher.cpp, line 1114
which happens because nsAppShellService::CreateHiddenWindow() does not
actually register the window.

fix?

Looks fine to me, fwiw. I was debugging this yesterday and was more or less on the same track.

I think the reason for bug 343033 is more, and related strangeness to how the hidden window menubar is used. In that bug, someone holds a strong ref to it for too long (seems to never be released, actually).

fix?

#if defined(XP_MAC) || defined(XP_MACOSX)

When you check in the change to nsAppShellService.cpp, can you please kill off tests for XP_MAC elsewhere in the file (just leave XP_MACOSX).

Did so and checked in to trunk at 2006-11-15 19:25 PDT.
