Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Plugins Graveyard :: QuickTime (Apple), defect)

Description

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

A fair amount of the 0x0 crashes listed here: http://dbaron.org/log/20090922-crashes-data/interesting-modules-windows have the Quicktime plugin. We don't have good stacks from the crash server yet so the only way to find these crashes is to unwind manually.

The stack looks something like this:

 0  0x0
    eip = 0x00000000   esp = 0x0012f29c   ebp = 0x6170706c   ebx = 0x00000000
    esi = 0x0800b5fe   edi = 0x000001f1   eax = 0x00040002   ecx = 0x07fa4ff0

My 10.6 lab machine hit this crash - http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-d72383a5-7a8a-469f-bd1a-188d52100105 is the report. Will try to see if I can get a set of STR.

Got this bug linked by a crash today:

http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-2ce96a0c-a81b-43d6-94ce-c24292101228

I don't seem to have quicktime anywhere.

Yeah, @0x0 is a pretty generic signature. It just means that something tried to execute code at a NULL address, and our stack walking code couldn't find any of the calling frames.

Closing old bugs in the Plugins component. We aren't going to track issues in 3rd-party plugins in the Mozilla bug tracker. In addition, support for NPAPI plugins will be removed at the end of this year; for more details see the post at https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/

If there is a serious bug in Firefox, it needs to be filed in the "Core" product, "Plug-Ins" component.
