Seen while running  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

STR:
1. I had several tabs open, went back to QMO to login. As soon as I tried to type in the login field the browser crashed.

This is a fairly clean profile with no extensions. Breakpad:http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/426e0e7c-3f2e-4f56-9750-585842090626

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Have not yet been able to reproduce but working on it.

Comment 2

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Marcia, I wonder if it is somehow related to the word/excel problem you reported lately against the application helper dialog.

Comment 3

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

The Win 7 machine in the lab does not have any of the MS products installed.  The word/excel issue I reported was on a Mac machine. Also in this instance there was no file handler being called I was simply typing something in a login field.

That's right, thanks for clarification. So lets hope you will find it again.

Given the crash report we crash while accessing plugin->GetLength().

256         nsIDOMPlugin* plugin = nsnull;
257         if (pluginArray->Item(k, &plugin) == NS_OK) {
258           PRUint32 mimeTypeCount = 0;
259           if (plugin->GetLength(&mimeTypeCount) == NS_OK) {
260             nsCOMPtr<nsIDOMMimeType> item;

Can pluginArray->Item return a non-modified parameter so we are accessing a null pointer?

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.9.1/source/dom/src/base/nsPluginArray.cpp#108

Marcia, was it the front page on QMO or another sub page? Can you remember?

Comment 5

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Yes I was on the front page of QMO logging in at the top of the page.

After reviewing the crash data and seeing that "Cooliris" was mentioned twice in the user comments, I went back in and installed it and crashed in this stack. Breakpad is here:

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Marcia, does it also crash with all the other add-ons disabled? Can you reproduce it with a new profile? WFM here with latest CoolIris add-on installed.

Comment 10

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Have not yet been able to reproduce the crash, but it was interesting that it crashed once I installed Cooliris. Perhaps an interaction between Cooliris and one of the other extensions? Need to review the crash data once again and look for some clues in the comments.

Comment 11

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Two of the latest comments in the crash status reference picasa, one mentions picasa download.

There seems to be many cases when Item() returns NS_OK but a null plugin.
Whimboo, want to provide a patch for the null check? I could review.
Note, the code does null check in the previous loop just few lines above.

Comment 13

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Olli, I would leave it up to the devs. I can investigate some issues but supplying a real fix isn't easy all the time. Especially in areas you don't have any knowledge.

While you're here, could you make plugin to be nsCOMPtr and change == NS_OK check to be NS_SUCCEEDED

Comment 16

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

Something very similar was done for the loop above

Sure. I guess I'll upload a branch patch again if this is ever wanted there.

Sorry, uploaded the same thing :(

Here's the real one.

Comment 19

[Nochum Sossonko [:Natch]]

If there's anyway to create a crash-test for this, lemme know. I can't reproduce the crash (I don't login to QMO), so if there's some sort of testcase I'll happily include it in the patch.

Comment 20

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Unfortunately I have only crashed twice and have not been able to reproduce the crash, but will let you know if I am able to.

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

Hm. I just crashed with a very similar stack on 1.9.0.

  bp-8fdf5a12-aa4e-44dd-b8cd-6ba752091114

I guess we didn't fix it there, did we? Oh well...

Comment 23

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

(In reply to comment #22)
> I guess we didn't fix it there, did we? Oh well...

Or 1.9.1, where the crash was actually seen in the wild originally.

Comment 24

[Nochum Sossonko [:Natch]]

I don't mind taking this to 1.9.1/1.9.0 if it's wanted...

Comment 25

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

If it's just a null check, I'd say yes, but let me check with Dan first.

Comment 26

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

Wanted! Let's get this fixed.

Note that there have been 767 crashes in the last week with this signature in Firefox 3.5.5.

Comment 27

[Nochum Sossonko [:Natch]]

Attachment: 191 patch

Patch for 1.9.1. 1.9.0 coming up if this doesn't apply (I don't have a local tree to check on).

Comment 28

[Nochum Sossonko [:Natch]]

This is already fixed on 1.9.0! Not sure who re-regressed it, but see: http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla%2Fdom%2Fsrc%2Fbase%2FnsMimeTypeArray.cpp&rev=&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot

It was fixed originally by bug 308778. Are there any crash stacks on 1.9.0 with this?

Comment 29

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

See comment 22.

Comment 30

[Nochum Sossonko [:Natch]]

I must be crazy, it obviously does exist, the loop right above it was fixed, not the one below...

Patch for 1.9.0 in the morning hopefully. I guess wanted-1.9.0.x+ again...

Comment 31

[Nochum Sossonko [:Natch]]

Patch for cvs 1.9.0 branch.
