868577 - Browser crashes if command-W is pressed at the same time a download is queued.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[tomlgavg]

I save images frequently and try closing the downloads window that pops up by using the shortcut command-w after clicking save. When I do that, the browser crashes. Once I reopen the browser, the image finishes saving. 

This might happen with other file types also but it might happen frequently with images because they finish downloading quickly.

Please provide the crash ID (bp-...) from the about:crashes page.
Does it happen with Firefox 20.0.1?
Does it happen in Safe Mode (see https://support.mozilla.org/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode)?

I have tried reproducing this with the updated version and it seems to have been fixed. This seems to have been an error in firefox 14 that has been fixed. I was not aware that I wassnt on the latest version because auto-update was added in ff 16. I am sorry for creating a false bug report, especially since you tagged it as critical.

I think instead you were using an extension compatible with version 20 but not version 14.

Auto-update has existed at least since Firefox 3. Maybe you turn it off. See your update options: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-configure-update-20optionssf21preferencessf
