671840 - Running Mozilla Firefox 5.0 as a scheduled task, under Windows XP SP3, it crashes all the time.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 601725

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[k_paloczi]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110615151330

Steps to reproduce:

I set Mozilla Firefox as a scheduled task to run every day at a given time and show a specific page. (Normally, the page loads without any problem!)


Actual results:

When Firefox is running at the given time, the new page opens in a new tab. That's OK.
When Firefox is not running, it opens for a moment then closes, the crash reporter appears.
When I go to that page normally, it loads with no problem!


Expected results:

That Firefox wouldn't crash even if it hadn't run.

Dupe of Bug 601725 which was filed back in the 4.0 days? Bug 671266 is also on file for this stack.
