764494 - Crash when Restarting FireFox through the Firefox Add-On Installer with Flash Player

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 747683

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[magnus]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/536.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/19.0.1084.56 Safari/536.5

Steps to reproduce:

1.) Go here: http://www.homestarrunner.com
2.) Click Firefox > Add-Ons
3.) Search for AdBlock Plus (or anything else, really)
4.) Install
5.) When given the restart firefox prompt, click restart
6.) Check out the new crash log in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\pending


Actual results:

Crash is silent; there are no visual clues except looking in the pending Crash Reports directory.

This is only reproducible with Flash Player Protected Mode on AND plugin IPC on (running plugins out of process with plugin-container.)  No crash with plugin IPC off.

here's the crash call stack in plugin-container.exe:

	10a855a0()	
 	ntdll.dll!_RtlProcessFlsData@4()  + 0xea bytes	
 	ffffffff()	



Expected results:

No pending crash report should have generated.

I have been a bunch of dumps in the pending folder since June 9, but no dump files appear after applying your STR in 13.0.

Jeromie Clark says in bug 763237 comment 39 that the patch of bug 747683 fixes the problem. Can you confirm using Firefox 13.0.1 (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/13.0.1-candidates/build1/)?

Does the issue still happen?

I'm not seeing it in FF 13.0.1.  I haven't tried it on newer versions, though.
