887924 - Web Site Problems In FF 22

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[bmatthews8]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130511120803

Steps to reproduce:

Dl'd FF 22, replaced 21, then went to various Web sites.


Actual results:

I immediately began to get on most Web sites a 'FileType' error message to the effect that 'xxxx is not a container' or some such.

Also, some Web pages would cause the display driver to continually crash and restart.

Part of Norton Internet Security was also flagged as being incompatible with 22.

Went back to 21. It doesn't exhibit any of these problems.


Expected results:

22 should have loaded the Web pages as well a 21 and been compatible with Norton IS.

1) Providing at least one site address where problem rise would help
2) Did you try Safe Mode (Help - Restart with Add-ons Disabled)?
>Also, some Web pages would cause the display driver to continually crash and restart.
Provide crash ids from about:crashes along with sites addresses
>Part of Norton Internet Security was also flagged as being incompatible with 22.
And this should be reported to Norton ;)

1. http://www.dpreview.com/
2. I did not try this. But when 22 installed, it did the usual check for Add-on compatibility. All incompatible Add-ons were disabled.
3. 'about:crashes' - Sorry, but when I click on the submitted crash reports from July and June they each come back with a 'page not found' error. In any case, it was the display driver that was crashing, not FF.

So, did you see the problem in Safe Mode or this bug can be closed?
