655835 - Firefox crashed when signing out from Yahoo Mail Beta [@ GCGraphBuilder::NoteXPCOMChild ]

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[Thomas Ahlblom]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

I used a brand new Firefox installation with a new clean profile trying to reproduce the crash in bug bug 655660, but instead I stumbled upon the dead Delete button bug in bug 644014, comment 18. When I signed out for the first time Firefox crashed, but not with the signature from bug 655660 I'd hoped to get but with the current one.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sign into Yahoo Mail Beta
2. Read mail and try to delete them and move them around.
3. Sign out.

Actual Results:  
Crash.

Expected Results:  
A clean sign out without crash.

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Thomas, are you still seeing/reproducing this crash when using newer version of firefox?

Comment 3

[Thomas Ahlblom]

No, "unfortunately" not.

I see in the crash comments section that this crash signature has started to show up again on both on Mac OS X and Linux in the last part of November, but judging all changes since FX 4.0.1 I guess there might be another root cause now.
