86644 - mozilla 0.9.1 or later crashes if old theme installed [@ nsCSSFrameConstructor::ConstructDocElementFrame]

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 77716

(Core :: Layout, defect, P1)

Description

[simon kitching]

I've been using mozilla0.9.0 for quite a while, with the "aqua" theme downlaoded
from themes.org. I recently tried to upgrade to 0.9.1 and found the new release
crashed immediately on startup (just after splash screen). [you will find
talkback dumps from [e-mail]]. Same with later nightly builds.

After starting 0.9.0, switching back to Modern Theme, can now start nightly
2001061804 (and probably others). Aqua theme still appears in view|Apply Theme,
and will crash this build immediately when selected.

possible dup of bug 83414, which also refers to the aqua theme.

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

is this one of the theme crashers?

This bug prevents me from running ANY version of Mozilla! I tried uninstalling 
the Aqua theme from .9 but now neither .9.1 nor .9 nor .9.2 works. I'm dying 
for a fix as I'm stuck with Microshit again :-( Also, if anyone could tell me 
how to remove ALL install infos from my system so I can do a clean install, 
it'd be really appreciated. I tried reinstalling from zip, the uninstall that 
comes with .9.2, manually removing all registry entries containing Mozilla or 
anything like it, and any files I could find to be associated with Mozilla but 
it still won't work!!! Please anyone, help me out!

[e-mail]: 
create an new profile with "mozilla -profilemanager" or delete all files in your
"profile/Chrome" directory

Comment 9

[Sungkwan Heo]

Thanks Matti,

The [e-mail]'s workaround works well for me. 
Now I can enjoy faster and more stable 0.9.2 mozilla. :)
It is really much better than 0.9.1.

In my case (Windows 2000 environment), the "profile/Chrome" directory is
D:\Documents and Settings\<profile-id>\7b5s377l.slt\Cache because I have used
mozilla since 0.8 or later. In 0.9.2, the default user profile/chrome directory
is D:\Documents and Settings\<windows-user-id>\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\<profile-id>\kxbd9pcg.slt\chrome.

taking to investigate.

Comment 11

[Jonathan Stewart]

Just encountered this bug with 0.9.3 on win98.  Terrible

This is a horrible error.  Imagine your mom trying to install a new theme and
having mozilla crash so bad she can't even load it to uninstall the theme. 
She'll not know to delete certain files associated with her profile.

Shouldn't mozilla perform some sort of check to make sure the skin is functional
before crashing into oblivion, leaving users high and dry?  This may be the
penalty (the checker) for having custmizability.  Unfortunately, you can't rely
on 3rd party themers to make good themes.

[Robert Spalek]

I know, how to crate a new profile - that was the way I choosed.  But I guess
this is an error even if the user can avoid it.

Comment 13

[rubydoo123]

reassigning to hyatt since he has the other crash bug on aqua themes (bug 83414)

Comment 14

[Adam Hauner]

Bug 77716 has same/similar crash signature.

Comment 15

[timeless]

this matches one of the signatures in that bug, and it matches one of the causes

listed for that bug.
