93469 - Mozilla crashes with java plugin

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 86591

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Jeff Frost]

Mozilla hangs and/or crashes for me whenever I go to certain flash/shockwave
pages.  I can reproduce this by going to http://www.coolrides.cc or
http://www.stickdeath.com/  Netscape 4.77 renders these pages fine.  This is all
I get after turning on debugging:

reporter: 
Which build are you using ?
Can you attach a stack trace or a talkback ID# ?

Comment 2

[Jeff Frost]

I'm using the mozilla-0.9.3-0 Redhat 7.x rpm.  If you can point me to a doc on how to do the stack trace and/or talkback id thing, I'll be happy to.

This WFM on 2001080209/Linux trunk build.



For talkback:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/

Install talkback.xpi out of a linux-xpi directory and restart browser (or you
can just install a talkback build and skip this step). Now make the browser
crash again and write down the talkback ID. If you already submitted a talkback,
just run it (from <MOZDIR>/components/talkback) and you should get a list of
submitted incidents with their IDs.

Installed the talk back tar.gz version:
mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-0.9.3-installer.tar.gz and cannot reproduce the
error.  However, the rpm build still reproduces on both sites.

wfm linux 6.1 , 0802 trunk . Do i have to do anything specific to see the crash?
can we get a trace? Thx!

Comment 9

[Jeff Frost]

I can't seem to get a trace because installing the talkback version doesn't let
me reproduce the crash.  And it's almost always a  hang and not a crash..but it
hangs for over 5 minutes and you have to kill it by hand.  I could strace it if
you like?

Attachment: strace of the flash plugin crash at coolrides.cc

Comment 12

[Jeff Frost]

I just uploaded an strace..not sure if that's what you need.  Doing:strace -fo
/var/tmp/flash-crash.strace /usr/bin/mozilla hangs.  Doing: strace -o
/var/tmp/flash-crash.strace /usr/bin/mozilla ends before giving interesting
results.  So I picked the top mozilla pid and strace -fp'd it.  Let me know if
you're interested in something more specific and I'll be happy to run it for ya.

Comment 13

[Jeff Frost]

I am now able to reproduce on the talkback enabled .tar.gz.  After installing
the java.xpi, any java page or flash/shockwave page will cause mozilla to hang.

WFM linux 0.9.3... I said no to the cookie, and don't have the flash plugin
installed. Report wasn't clear is it crashes just on any flash page, or trying
to actually run flash.

Comment 15

[Jeff Frost]

Yes, it definitely works fine if the flash plugin is not installed.  It also 
works fine if the flash plugin is installed, but the java plugin is not 
installed.  Installing the java plugin makes the browser hang on 
shockwave/flash pages such as: http://www.coolrides.cc/ or 
http://www.stickdeath.com/ so that it must be killed.

Comment 16

[Con Kolivas]

WFM Linux 0.9.3 with flash 5.0r47 and JRE 1.3.1 from sun.

Comment 17

[Jeff Frost]

Was that Redhat 7.1?  

I doubt it should matter, but for what it's worth, I am running on a Dell
Inspiron 7500 laptop.  I have a seemingly related problem with Konqueror, in
that shockwave pages crash the browser.  We have another machine which is a
desktop which exhibits the konqueror problem, and we will see if we can
reproduce the mozilla bug as well.  

Comment 18

[Jeff Frost]

I was able to reproduce it on another system.  I installed the talkback version
of mozilla 0.9.3.  I then installed the flash plugin in
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, and then installed java by going to java.sun.com and
clicking ok to get the plugin, and then clicking on java for linux.  After the
install completed going to java.sun.com or www.coolrides.cc or
www.stickdeath.com causes the program to hang.  

Installed on redhat 7.1

Comment 19

[Jeff Frost]

Well, after further investigation, it appears that it is the java plugin which
is causing the crashes.  After removing the flash plugin, I still get
reproducible hangs going to java.sun.com or www.coolrides.cc.  I've been able to
reproduce this on 3 workstations here.  Also, all machines are running kde-2.1.1
