(Firefox :: Private Browsing, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

I was experimenting a bit with private browsing, enabling and disabling it.
Suddenly, it didn't work anymore when I wanted to enable it.
The about:privatebrowsing url didn't come up and I got this error in the error console:
Error: Exception thrown while processing the private browsing mode change request: [Exception... "'[JavaScript Error: "script stack space quota is exhausted" {file: "file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/mw/Bureaublad/moz/firefox20081104/modules/JSON.jsm" line: 176}]' when calling method: [nsISessionStore::getBrowserState]"  nsresult: "0x80570021 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/mw/Bureaublad/moz/firefox20081104/components/nsPrivateBrowsingService.js :: PBS__onPrivateBrowsingModeChanged :: line 92"  data: yes]

Maybe I did something wrong?

Also, when that happens, the memory usage seems to go up for a short while, from 120MB to 250MB.

Martijn: can you please report your build ID?  Is it before the 20081106 nightly?

This might be the same as bug 450633, which seems to be fixed by the recent check-in for bug 407110.  I'm nearly sure that this is the case, but I'm CCing Simon to verify.

Yeah, seems to be worksforme, using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2pre) Gecko/20081106 Minefield/3.1b2pre

Where I got the error, I was using a build of 2 days old or something like that.

Mass moving of all Firefox::General private browsing bugs to Firefox::Private Browsing.
