687899 - [Mac] Investigate why some OOPP crashes show "No report available"

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Discussed at the CrashKill meeting today - I thought there was a general bug on this but I cannot locate it.

Bug 658130 is one example, but there was one more recently where I crashed with the Flash 11 version and the same thing happened.

I am looking for the other bug now where I can reproduce the crash reliably using the Flash 11 version.

I can crash consistently using the URL above with Flash Version: 11.0.1.129 using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:9.0a1) Gecko/20110920 Firefox/9.0a1 and get the no report available. Although this crash is fixed in the next version of 11, would like to know why I get the "No Report Available."

Benjamin and Ted: Forgive me if this an issue that has been raised before, but do we know why this happens? Bug 554451 was filed a while back to try to make the messaging more clear.

I don't know.

Usually that just means we weren't able to write a minidump for some reason.  Can you look in your Mac crashreporter logs and see if you can find a plugin-container report? They're in ~/"Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/", or you can use Console.app to view them.

Resolving old bugs which are likely not relevant any more, since NPAPI plugins are deprecated.
