682912 - qipcap.dll WebSense Content filtering dll crashes Firefox on launch

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(External Software Affecting Firefox :: Other, defect)

Description

[ctribo]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0
Build ID: 20110811165603

Steps to reproduce:

Install Firefox 6, start it.

See bug report ID: 0fe691f7-7dc0-4b1e-b9cd-5256b2110822
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/0fe691f7-7dc0-4b1e-b9cd-5256b2110822

I've found, I believe, that qipcal.dll belongs to WebSense Content Filtering software (corporate sponsored spyware/monitoring software)

Firefox 3.6 branch still works fine, so something in the 5.x/6.x branch is not happy with whatever it is this library is hooking into.

Unfortunately I can't file a bug with WebSense as I'm not one of their customers.

Firefox 6.0 Crash Report [@ qipcap.dll@0x3964 ] 
qipcap.dll@0x3964
qipcap.dll
qipcap



Actual results:

Crashes immediately upon launch every time.


Expected results:

Not crash on launch every time.

On crash stats, there are no signatures containing qipcap.dll in the past month for versions newer than firefox 17

¡Hola Wayne!

I'm reopening this per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1098342 that has two of these or very similar crashes.

There are 482 crashes in the past month per https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?product=Firefox&range_unit=days&range_value=28&signature=qipcap.dll%400x9e36#tab-sigsummary

What's a good path forward for this bug?

¡Gracias!

Too late for firefox 52, mass-wontfix.

[Marco Castelluccio [:marco]]

This should no longer be reproducible with the latest versions of WebSense, which switched to WebExtension.
