Two of our top crash reports (#1 and #4) tracked in bug 453927 and bug 457898 seem to be caused by the DAEMON Tools Toolbar. From what we can tell, this happens with DTToolbarFF.dll version 1.0.0.1. The developers recently released DAEMON Tools Toolbar version 1.0.0.5 which includes changes to the DLL and extension which are supposed to fix the crashes. (The version number of the DLL was also upped to 1.0.0.5.). I have an email from the developers that says we can blocklist all prior versions of the DLL/extension. I'm more than happy to forward that to whomever is needed. It doesn't appear they have a bugzilla account, so I have no one to CC.
Ok. Thx Sam.
Any update here? What more do we need to make this happen?
Asa suggested contacting beltzner and/or dveditz.
Looks like we've got approval from the add-on developer themselves, so I'm fine to block it if it's a known startup crasher. There's an update available so that the users will get the option to move to the new, secure version, yes?
(In reply to comment #4) > to block it if it's a known startup crasher. There's an update available so > that the users will get the option to move to the new, secure version, yes? They should have the option now, this will just force it on them a bit more if they want the toolbar. Given the amount of crashes have hardly come down, I'm okay with forcing it. (Also having permission makes me more okay.)
Why isn't this done already? Assigning to morgamic to find an appropriate victim on his team.

Since it's not on AMO you'll need the ID for blocking. In the latest 1.0.0.5 version it's <em:id>DTToolbar@toolbarnet.com</em:id>
Mike, where are we here?
Severity: critical → blocker
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Target Milestone: --- → 4.0.3
Not sure if this really fits the criteria for blocklisting, but if you guys are in favor of this we can push this out on Tuesday with the rest of the AMO updates.
Check that -- AMO update is Thursday but we can push this Tuesday night.
Staged www changes: https://www.authstage.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ Bug to update prevew: bug 464254 If that looks good we'll push it out tonight. ss or stephend -- could you verify this?

Anyone know where I can find the old version (since it's not on http://www.disk-tools.com/download/dttoolbar, and changing the filename doesn't work since it's a hash), or have a contact that can hook me up?
(In reply to comment #13) > Two emails available: > > bizdev1@toolbarnet.com > techsupport@toolbarnet.com Thanks, Rey; I emailed bizdev1@toolbarnet.com about obtaining access to an earlier version with which to test.
Reopening; neither Tony nor I could get blocklisting of version 1.0.0.0 to work against Firefox 3.0.4, using both local and remote blocklisting methods.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
Ok, we'll have to figure out why and push it when we do.
Target Milestone: 4.0.3 → 4.0.4
we should remove the blocklist entry from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ until this bug really is fixed and verified.
I'll remove the entry. If this is still a priority we should spend some time figuring out why it's not being disabled as expected. Either way, moving to 4.0.5 since this won't get done tonight. Not blocking 4.0.4, this change can go in anytime so the rest of the release should be able to get pushed.
Severity: blocker → critical
Status: REOPENED → ASSIGNED
Target Milestone: 4.0.4 → 4.0.5
Entry was removed a few minutes ago.
False alarm, entry is in staging but I had some issues pushing it to prod in kubla. Working on that.
So I don't have to rewrite it, the line is: <li>Daemon Tools Toolbar, versions older than 1.0.0.5, for all applications (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459850">see bug 459850</a>)</li>
Wil pushed this through, I probably didn't have permissions.
Is this fixed?
(In reply to comment #23) > Is this fixed? No, we just removed the entry from the blocklist page.
Target Milestone: 4.0.5 → 5.0.1
Tony or Stephen - not sure what to do with this. Have you looked at why it can't be blocklisted?

(In reply to comment #25) > Tony or Stephen - not sure what to do with this. Have you looked at why it > can't be blocklisted? I have this set up in a VM, with extensions.blocklist.url set to https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/blocklist/2/%APP_ID%/%APP_VERSION%/%PRODUCT%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/, and I followed the steps listed in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Extension_Blocklisting:Testing. Last time I tested this alongside Tony, we even tried the local blocklist.XML option and couldn't get it to blocklist either. Let me know when you have to troubleshoot with me; not sure what kind of further info you need.
Severity: critical → minor
id was bad. id should be: support@daemon-tools.cc
insert into blitems values (null, 'support@daemon-tools.cc', ' ', '1.0.0.5', null, now(), now());

It's perhaps a technicality but we probably should use the empty string ("") to represent no minVersion for the block version range. This will literally make the blocklist service ignore the minVersion and block every version below the maxVersion. Technically " " is a valid version.

The version of DTToolbarFF.dll that is crashing is important here. If it's a new version, we might need to contact them and do more blocklisting.

I'd say most of these are the current version offered 1.0.8 http://www.daemon-toolbar.com/home or the previous version.
chofmann: Please file a new bug for that issue. It's not likely to be seen in this bug. I can try and contact the extension authors again.
