Description

[Tiziana Sellitto [:tiziana]]

Creating a testcase for bug 885432 I've noticed that a specific error in the testcase causes a crash
I've attached the testcase that causes the crash

Steps to rerpoduce
1. Open the testcase
2. Open the Inspector/Debugger in one of the tabs
3. Place a breakpoint in JS code
4. reload the page

At steps 4 FF crashes. Crash report:

Came here through my crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ba22653f-1ae9-4477-be94-3a65e2140104

The line that was throwing the syntax error was something like: 

    HTML.push(buildTag({tag: 'caption', {tag: 'p', val: self.caption}}));

… so I forgot the property identifier. Though when I clicked the source link in the dev tools console, Firefox crashed. After restart, when I clicked the source link, the view source editor was opened (with the faulty line highlighted) and when I then opened and checked the debugger, it showed no sources.

There was also a TypeError iirc, but I don't remember anything about that one.

Does this still reproduce?
bug 923259 also cites crash in debugger

Closing because no crash reported since 12 weeks.

Reopening because crash bugs **with testcases** should not be resolved **as WONTFIX** based on queries of crash-stats.  Other resolutions may be appropriate for other reasons.

(Crash signatures are not the same as bug identity; they're merely a search aid to find and group similar crashes.  The bug may still be present, but the signature may have changed slightly, or the bug may even still be present with the same signature but there are simply no recent reports of crashes in that function.)

Hello I will close this issue due to the fact that these crash signatures haven't occured in the past 6 months, if these issue is still valid please feel free to reopen it.

Thank you!
