459909 - Firefox X forwarding, image, file save as, crash (IA__g_file_load_partial_contents_finish)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

Attachment: debug info

Linux system.
create user a
create user b

login as user a
start firefox (creates a fresh profile)
quit
logout

login as user b
open terminal
run:
  ssh -X a@localhost
  firefox

Your desktop belongs to user "b", but the started firefox process belongs to forwarded user "a".

Go to any website, right click on any image and say "view image".
Now use file save as.

This always crashes on my Fedora 9 system, i386, Firefox 3.0.2

Please see the attached text file.
The first couple of lines show some assertion failures, printed by firefox.
The remainder are stacks from gdb.

I get the same crash when I try to use a form that has a "file upload" element, as soon as I click the "browse" button I crash, seeing the same series of assertions.

I realize this bug is not in Mozilla itself, but rather somewhere in GNOME or GTK. 

I get the same crash when I use Gnome's gedit and use file/open.
