possible new crash, or maybe just a new signature on an old crash.  #12 in very early 3.6.4 data.  not much to go on yet other than watch for more data.

stack looks like

Both silverlight calling NPN_GetURLNotify. The stack implies that the associated plugin instance (NPP) has already been destroyed.

It's an oopsie, if that wasn't clear.

i get constant and immediate crashes on new micrsofot wei-share site, running on ffx 3.7a5nightly running in a tab.

site: http://www.weishare.net/

currently running:

still crashes on me with current 3.7a5pre build
http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/59cea5cc-98a4-4f50-99d6-326a22100618

every hundredth time of reloading the weishare page it actually works (silverlight starts loading up and working), it even stays for a while with reloading the tab from there on, and eventually fails like after the third or fourth reload once it was working.

maybe its some race condition when the browser is under some load (for example i was crashing/submitbugreporter/reloading the weishare tab quite quickly and eventually it did work after a few tens of reload attempts) it seems to succeed to make silverlight work.

is there actually some trace plugin/addon for the mozilla apps where i could figure out what parts and components of the mozilla apps eat up cpu cycles.

with the recent 3.7a5pre builds i am having slowdowns when firefox runs for many days with many windows and many tabs opened and being under "heavy" (actually normal for me)  use. surfing many sites, closing, opening many tabs, having a number of addons, etc.

this slowdown is especially recognizable after a few days when single clicks or scrolling inside tabs or even only navigating back and forth inside a tab (history) takes like 10-20seconds each and everything is painfully slow. javascript, history, ram-usage or such stuff comes to my mind.

this has never been so bad ever since firefox arrived at the 3.5 or 3.6builds, but now with 3.7ax its seems to get worse again.... :(

so after a few days i currently need to quit and restart the firefox app all the way as its barely usable any more :(

any hints? profiling apps for the non-developer folks for us, or any possibility to measure and log/record cpu-cycles inside the app and its various parts/threads/functions, and any way to submit these profiling results for review?


thanks.

seems to be unaffected of this bug. tried with weishare. no crash of the plugin there any more.
the crashing on the weishare site has returned with:

On 1.9.2 Branch this is now low Volume (40-50 Crashes/Week):

still crashes with ffx4 beta7pre and beta8pre as well.

example for beta8pre:
http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/8f379cd8-a64e-4822-b2d5-52ad82101007

most of times right after a complete fresh start of firefox.exe process from scratch and then navigating to the www.weishare.net site the first attempt to view that website works normally for the microsoft silverlight plugin. but as soon as ctrl+r, refresh, f5, all following attempts to view and refresh this site again bring up the plugincrash.

it takes ages again while still running this instance of firefox to be able to succeed in getting the weishare website to run again normally with the silverlight plugin.


btw, i just went to firefox4 beta8pre a little while ago via the about box for the first time, so i guess today was the switchover to the beta8pre nightlies, and this build

gave me weishare crashes as well, but the very first one of the silverlight plugin crashes crashes at weishare was a different stack signature:

see it here
http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-e3618d3c-16eb-4c2d-823a-f74932101007

there are only two other of this stacksignature:
http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?product=Firefox&query_search=signature&query_type=exact&query=mozilla%3A%3Aplugins%3A%3APPluginInstanceChild%3A%3ADeallocSubtree%28%29&date=10%2F07%2F2010%2008%3A12%3A27&range_value=30&range_unit=days&hang_type=any&process_type=any&plugin_field=&plugin_query_type=&plugin_query=&do_query=1&admin=&signature=mozilla%3A%3Aplugins%3A%3APPluginInstanceChild%3A%3ADeallocSubtree%28%29



the signature is:
mozilla::plugins::PPluginInstanceChild::DeallocSubtree() 


in contrast to the one that we are discussing here:
mozilla::plugins::PPluginInstanceChild::CallPStreamNotifyConstructor(mozilla::plugins::PStreamNotifyChild*, nsCString const&, nsCString const&, bool const&, nsCString const&, bool const&, short*) 


maybe this is a possibility to track down this bug or those other crash stackreports are related and can give further hints to this behaviour.
was actually trying to windebug (windbg) firefox for a completely different bug, it was stopping in the debugger because of this.

attaching log.
