Hello,

I encountered a firefox crash while accessing www.co2online.de having Firebug 1.5.3 activated. After disabling Firebug, Firefox stops crashing.

I am using OpenSuse 11.2, 32 Bit.

Would be glad to get some feedback on this.

Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Firefox 3.6.2 and Firebug 1.5.3 installed
2. Open www.co2online.de (sometimes you need to scroll down a little)
3. Sit back an relax :-)
Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes immediately. 

Expected Results:  
Well, normally firefox shouldn't crash but display the site.

I am using OpenSuse 11.2, 32 Bit. On a virtual machine running Windows 7 I couldn't reproduce this behaviour.

Bug 540566 has a similar sound. It is fixed but I guess not in 3.6.2? You can try nightly build of Firefox 3.6.3pre to see if it fixes you.

I can confirm that the site http://www.co2online.de/ crashes Firefox 3.6.2 with Firebug 1.6a9pre

Does this crash on Windows for you, John? I'm unable to reproduce on Mac. The reporter claims it doesn't crash in a VM for him.

John, you do have EDITBUGS and/or CANCONFIRM privs for bugzilla don't you?

The site referenced here does not crash for me with FF 3.6.3pre Firebug 1.6a9pre, WinXP. Different machine, but I still believe that this is a duplicate of bug 540566.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3pre) Gecko/20100401 Namoroka/3.6.3pre

Dennis please try a nightly build of FF 3.6.3, and if it works for you close this bug by marking it as a duplicate.

Hello John, hello everyone who has been so busy on commenting,

I have updated my Firefox to 3.6.3, but still can reproduce this crash. Since this seems to be a duplicate of 538698, I will also publish the following information within the 538698.

The crash report for the most recent crash with Firefox 3.6.3 can be found here:

Thanks for everybody investing time into Firefox. It's definitely a great browser.

Regards,
Dennis
