Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Plugins Graveyard :: Windows Media Player (Flip4Mac), defect)

Description

[Brandon Ferguson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

When above page is loaded Firefox immediately crashes after it renders. It also crashes if opened in new tab (which remains hidden). This was tested in lastest Minefield build (downloaded/built today) and had very similar results. In minefield's case there was a long delay before the crash and the console showed Flip4Mac plugin being loaded. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?person=My%20Documents


Actual Results:  
Crashes Browser.

Expected Results:  
Page loading. 

This is a MacBook Pro (Core2Duo).

I tried accessing the same site (using same FFox User-Agent). Machine is an Intel Mac Pro. The page loads fine without the plugin, or with noscript blocking content from orangemile.com (the wma file is http://mydocuments.orangemile.com/mymusic/chariot.wma).

With flip4mac installed and content unblocked, it falls over:

The file plays ok if the URL is opened directly in Quicktime.

Yeah, this looks like a Flip4Mac problem, but I'd be curious to hear what they think.

Does this happen with a fresh profile? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager

Seems to do it with a fresh profile as well.

I have repro'd the crash on the nightly trunk:  Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a7pre) Gecko/2007071104 Minefield/3.0a7pre

STR:
1. go to www.ig.com on a mac book pro, osx 10.4.10, clean profile.
2. scroll down to video section
3. click play, and verify minefield crashes.

Sounds like a plugin bug, not a blocker. If someone can show that it is a browser problem, please renominate.

Comment 7

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

http://www.gregory-wheeler.memory-of.com/ also crashes with the same stack.

Should be fixed on trunk in tomorrows build.
(comment 1 is probably a different crash since it's on branch)

Mats in comment #8

can this then be closed?

Comment 10

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

In comment 8, I was referring to the fix for bug 426524, in case that wasn't
clear.  I said "should" since I have never owned a PPC Mac and couldn't
verify.  It would be good if someone could do a quick test loading the URL
in Firefox 3.0.x with Flip4Mac installed.

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.
