64977 - Mozilla crashes if default plugin isn't found

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Peter Lubczynski]

1) Remove the default plugin and quicktime plugin (happens with other plugins 
besides quicktime too)
2) Visit a page with quicktime, for example, the URL above
3) Notice the "No Default Plugin" dialog comes up (partially clipped as well)
4) Mozilla disappears after clicking OK. No stack trace, no error messages.

bug 63755 mentions the same problem but on linux.

I'm running Linux kernel 2.4.0, Mozilla 0.7, XFree 4.01, KDE 2.1 beta1, and when
browsing a URL with shockwave stuff on the page, but the plugin not loaded,
mozilla crashes as described.

page I visited was http://www.clambake.org

nope, i can't reproduce it either. But, I crashed once on linux trunk (0110) 
when I had both the default plugin and the flash plugin inside the plugins 
folder...strange. Still, attaching that stack trace. Who knows, it might turn 
useful. BTW, Sweenytod, there was a bug till yesterday about flash sites 
crashing the browser, pls use a latest build and see if it still happens for 
you. ALso ,a stack trace would be helpful. Thanks!

Since the linux bug 63755 is now went away, perhaps this one did too.

Sweeny, can you re-test on a nightly build? It appears that there may have been 
a few bugs in 0.7 that are fixed now.
