775407 - Crashes when firebug is used and we log an XMLHTTPRequest object to console

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 760044

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[u447036]

Attachment: Repo code in its own standalone file.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120713134347

Steps to reproduce:

I am using the latest version of Firefox (14.0.1) and Firebug (1.10.0).

I am also using the YUI3 (www.yuilibrary.com) javascript library.

The whole browser will crash when I try to log the XMLHTTPRequest object to console.

Here's a repo of the code in a JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/prWcS/

I have also attached the code in the JSFiddle as a standalone HTML file.

This is also the crash report that was generated: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-a5887174-1ba0-4e56-9476-0a4282120719


Actual results:

1. Visit this jsfiddle containing the code that makes the request: http://jsfiddle.net/prWcS/

2. As can be seen, the browser does not crash (yet).

3. Turn on firebug (F12).

4. Refresh the jsfiddle and cause the script to run again.

5. Browser crashes.




Expected results:

The browser should not crash at all. I should see the object logged to console and be able to inspect it.
