425580 - Deleting multiple e-mails and/or multiple deletes in yahoo mail beta abruptly crashes FF (no crash reporter runs)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 419695

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Lafe LaClaire]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030317 Firefox/3.0b4

My wife and I have both had this happen. I do not have perfect reproduce instruction but it occurs pretty reliably.

Go into yahoo mail beta.
Go to your inbox (possibly other folder too)
Press meta-shift-+ to increase font size (may or may not be relevant)
Select multiple rows to delete and press the delete key on the keyboard
If no crash select one or more add'l rows to delete and press delete key on keyboard.
Most likely you will crash.

One thing that does not seem to matter is whether you use the preview pane or open each e-mail in a separate yahoo-mail tab.

Checking the FF error console after restarting FF I see a TON of warnings and "Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method Location.toString

Note also, my wife seems to have multiple problems when using the preview pane that I do not encounter.

This problem did not occur to us using FF 2.x on yahoo mail beta, occurred immediately after we upgraded to 3.0b4.

If you would like me to also report this to yahoo mail beta just shoot me an e-mail and I'll be glad to submit to them too.  I'd also be happy to try any experiments you'd like me to try by way of reproducing or diagnosing - just shoot me an e-mail, but note turnaround may be a couple days as I don't find time for yahoo e-mail every day.

Good Luck!



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to yahoo mail beta, inbox (may occur in other folders too, haven't checked)
2. [May or may not be relevant] Increse font size by hitting meta-shift-+
3. Select multiple rows to delete, press delete key on keyboard
4. If you did not crash select another row and press delete

The crash seems pretty reliable (my wife reported to me and I crashed FF on first try) but I have not done clean reproduction tests.
Actual Results:  
FF crashes with notice that it was not possible to report crash! 

Expected Results:  
Something other than FF crashing :-)
