How are the steps to reproduce the crashes?

Comment 2

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Lucas

1. [only unusual thing done] turned on high contrast mode in windows a couple times using alt+shift+printscreen
2. "opening a new tab clicked in [a message in] Thunderbird"

Comment 3

[Lucas Malor (mail: c6kfnkn2uc AT snkmail DOT c0m)]

Some suggestions:

1) update to the latest version (menu Help -> Check for Updates), restart and apply the update, close Firefox, create a new profile ( http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows ), start Firefox with the new profile and test if Firefox crashes again.

2) without high contrast mode, all works without problem?

3) if I understood well, you clicked a link in a email message in Thunderbird. Firefox tried to open the link but it crashed. It happens with all links in email, or only for one link? It happens also with URL links from other programs?

4) What is the version of your Thunderbird?

5) Post here also your build identifier: menu Help -> About Minefield. The identifier is something like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008051306 Minefield/3.0pre

I should have put in more detail when I still remembered wth I was doing.
 
1. I must have tried it again using newer build 2008050906 and got the same problem, before filing the bug
2. clicking links normally works, never had such a problem before (never use high contrast - was testing a bug about it)
3. don't recall if i tried from other programs
4. version 3.0a1 (2008050715)
5. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008050906 Minefield/3.0pre

Comment 5

[Lucas Malor (mail: c6kfnkn2uc AT snkmail DOT c0m)]

Well, I assume this problem happens to you for all Thunderbird links.

related to 3 and 4: Could you try to test this bug with Thunderbird 2 and with other programs?
related to 1: do you tested it with a new profile?

PS: your Firefox is not up to date to the latest trunk, anyway :-)

Comment 6

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

don't want to leave you hanging ... sorry, I won't be testing further (other priorities).  Pretty easy for you to try - alt+shift+printscreen is a toggle, completely non-destructive.

But I'm reasonably certain it shouldn't be happening, even if thunderbird sent Fx an ill-formed URL

Also, I frequently click links in messages in both trunk and release builds.  So I suspect alt+shift+printscreen is the key, as all other habits/factors in my usage at the time were unchanged.

[Lucas Malor (mail: c6kfnkn2uc AT snkmail DOT c0m)]

I found the problem. It happens when you set Firefox 3 as your default browser, but you don't start a profile by default ("Don't ask at startup" unchecked in Profile Manager). This problem doesn't happen with Firefox 2. (Workaround: set Firefox 2 as the default browser, or check "Don't ask at startup" in Profile Manager).

Can anyone confirm and set the bug as "New"?

Tested with:

Thunderbird 3.0a2pre (2008051303)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008051306 Minefield/3.0pre

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

those are my settings.

A similar FIXED bug is Bug 370123 – Crash while starting Firefox with a Web-Shortcut and enabled Profile Manager 

Perhaps Rob can speculate whether bug 370123 fixed what he and spitzer were doing in Bug 295248 – Crash if opening a link (from Thunderbird) when profile picker window is open. Unlike that bug however, I don't recall having the picker open

Lucas, You were able to make it crash? 

Comment 9

[Robert Strong (they/them - no direct email)]

Bug 370123 didn't fix Bug 295248 and the fix for Bug 295248 or Bug 395891. Our startup implementation is going to need some massive rework to fix this and an ETA on doing this is unknown.

No, it simply doesn't start.

So I think this bug is a duplicate of Bug 395891, right?

Yes

Comment 12

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

not sure I agree with the dupe, because I've never had this crash before, the stacks don't seem (to me) to match up, etc. But I am unable to recreate the crash. So I will trust Rob's judgment.

Comment 13

[Robert Strong (they/them - no direct email)]

I wouldn't expect the stacks to match up with all of the changes and chances are bug 395891 will fix this bug when it is fixed. If you want to reopen please do so.
