759809 - Swooping to StreetView with MapsGL crashes browser

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 757739

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Bill Baxter]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/536.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1132.17 Safari/536.11

Steps to reproduce:

Go to maps.google.com and make sure MapsGL is enabled.
Now visit this link to a StreetView pano: http://goo.gl/maps/Fcn3

Seen in most recent version of Nightly on Linux.  Before updating nightly it worked ok.  Not sure what the build of the older version of Nightly was, but probably it was from ~2 weeks ago.

Aurora 14 and previous versions of firefox I've tried seem ok.  Seems like a new regression in Nightly.





Actual results:

The map of the world briefly appears, then the browser crashes.  It crashes just as it's about to start the 3D swoop into StreetView.  (You can also repro by just dragging the pegman onto the map somewhere).


Expected results:

3D swoop to StreetView should have commenced and browser should not have crashed.
