442636 - Unnecessary crash report upon closing Firefox

Status: VERIFIED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Kat]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

Every time I exit Firefox, it tells me that it has "crashed" and asks if I want to report the problem. I exited Firefox myself, and yet it's acting as though I hadn't done it- treating it as an error. This notification is from Firefox, and not my OS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox
2.Exit Firefox (X-out or File:Exit)
3.(this is where the crash screen appears)
Actual Results:  
Firefox crash window appears.

Expected Results:  
Not shown me an unnecessary crash report.

What extensions are you running ? It seems one of them caused a problem when you try to exit the application.

I have one theme running, everything else was incompatible and not kept when I updated to 3.

An application crash during shutdown is still a bug, just like colliding with the front of your garage when you intended to stop anyway is still a bad thing.

Can you load about:crashes and pull out a crash ID so we can look at the stack trace to try to figure out what went wrong?

why i had been kicked out from the cc list? :(

Comment 5

[timeless]

dunno, michabailey did it, afaict it should be prohibitively expensive to remove someone from the cc list while adding yourself.

michabailey: how / why did you do this?

Comment 6

[Micha Bailey]

I didn't!

The same happens to me. Each time I close the browser (Firefox 3.0.5) a crash window appears. My OS is Windows XP SP3. This didn't happen with the previous versions nor with the nightly ones.

As the same issue happens to me I followed your advise and I'm copying the last Crash ID below.
I hope it helps you!
Should you need any additional information, please post it here.
