(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008060309 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008060309 Firefox/3.0

See details in Ubuntu launchpad bug report: 236613

Basically, if you have the prism extension to create new webapps from current webpage enabled and download a file from the web, Firefox crashes.  When started from terminal it just says "segmentation fault" following the crash.  There are more details in the ubuntu report.  

Ubuntu came back and made the bug invalid, i guess because it's an extension, but I wanted to make sure someone fixed it as I like the thing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install prism 0.2 extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6665)
2. download any old file
3. Firefox crashes
Actual Results:  
Crash

Expected Results:  
Download file and keep going

The application Prism (0.8) is installed from the repositories on the system as well. It is only the extension that causes the crash.  It might have something to do that the ubuntu repo is only on prism 0.8 when the latest is 0.9

Reproduced consistently on 
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0

... with or without Prism installed from the repos.

I've been having the same problems, when I disabled prism the problems were gone.

Hello,

I have the same proble with firefox 3.1b3-pre (20090223 build) on Debian Lenny : Firefox segfaults when I download a file.

[Spencer Hakim]

This problem occurs with Firefox 3.1b3 on Vista, including with a clean profile (save for the Refractor for Prism extension being installed), so its not just limited to Linux installs.

3.6 beta crashes on any download for me - hsa for several weeks now.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090601 Firefox/3.0 ID:20090601052941

Clean profile no add-ons.

Linux - I get a segv.

1 more piece of info - the download always completes - then the popup notifier comes on to advise that download has completed - the crash occurs when that notifier popup goes away - either waiting - or clicking the X on top right.

Errr my crashes are still occurring on a clean profile with no extensions at all - as in comment #1 - prism is not required.

The dup bug this was assigned to says it is fixed (closed) as of april build of trunk - it is definitely NOT fixed as of the june trunk builds. 

Unless fixed means fixed in private dev build but not released into any nightly/hourly build since april ??

The bug is definitely still in the current trunk builds.
