970519 - Firefox 27 consistently crashes at end of round of Battlefield 4 games

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Michail Pappas]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140127194636

Steps to reproduce:

I have been running Battlefield 4 for quite some time now, up to and including Firefox 27. Installed the latest release nvidia drivers and then the firefox 27 update. After that, I have been receiving consistent and reproducible crashes and the game end of round. Smells like a plugin <-> firefox 27 issue, but the plugin was not updated at all.

If more are needed, let me know.


Actual results:

Firefox crashes when the game changes round.


Expected results:

The game changes round and communicates this information somehow to the Firefox BF4 plugin.

From the looks of it, duplicate of bug# 791112.

This is closer to being a duplicate of Bug 970147 rather than Bug 791112.

Thanks for the pointer Daniel, will mark bug as such.

Comment 4

Reopening bug, since issue persists on 27.0.1.

Comment 5

[Danial Horton]

Of course it persists on 27.0.1

the fix won't make it in to any Fx27 build at this point, it might get into 28 if we're lucky.

Using nightly 30.0a1 (2014-02-25), the issue is not reproducible at all, good job!
