From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.8.1) BuildID: 2001040904 See bug #67465. When browsing from behind a firewall and trying to access sites that use certificates, Mozilla crashes or freezes. If you try to access the URL https://www.palm.net/Registration/RegistrationNewUser.jsp?doSSL=1 for example, Mozilla will prompt you for a firewall id and password (bug 67465). If you enter your id and pass, Mozilla will crash or freeze while trying to render the page. Which happens seems to depend on the build. 2001040904 freezes Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Access the site mentioned above. 2.Enter id and pass 3.Click 'OK' and watch her go down... Actual Results: No prompt and no crash Expected Results: Prompt and crash

Reporter do you have the talkback ID or stacktrace from the crash?

Unfortunately, no. It's been a while since a build actually crashed. Most of the more recent builds just freeze.

Reporter, is this still a problem now that PSM 2.0 is in the nightly builds?

Let me put this into bullets. I've noticed a lot here lately and it will be easier to follow this way (I hope.) 1.) Mozilla no longer crashes or freezes when accessing certificate-enabled sites. Yeah! 2.) Mozilla still prompts for a firewall id and pass when accessing these sites from behind a firewall. 3.) Rather than crash (***or go to the desired page***), Mozilla sends the user to the firewall's HTML page. Better than a crash but still a problem... 4.) I tried out the expiramental build from the 23rd. It did NOT prompt me for my firewall login, but instead fired up my default browser (sorry, at work it has to be IE) and opened the page there. In case the info is useful, the firewall brand is Interlock.

Reporter, what are your proxy settings? Do I correctly understand that you are using https between Mozilla and the firewall? Changing Summary.
Summary: Mozilla crashes when trying to access certificate sites from behind a firewall → SSL behaves incorrectly w/httpS proxy requiring authentication

Most software I use with the firewall works when I set it to https, but we actually connect to it via port 80. Of course, user id and password authentication are required. Our HTTP connection, FTP and security are all configured on our browsers to use port 80 or port 81 (only used if 80 doesn't work).

I'm sorry, I don't understand what settings you are using. Please report what value is entered for each field of the Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Proxies dialog box. This is possibly a duplicate of bug 75865. Please retry with a build made on or after 4/30.

Tried that. Everything is behaving well except one annoying little thing. I still get prompted to login to the firewall when accessing my webmail site (https://mail.xmission.com). It looks like at least this bug has been fixed, and the dialog bug is documented in bug #67465. More new comments there. I recommend closing this bug as resolved. Fantastic work!
