Bug 30183 – Some sites cause Mozilla-1.4-r3 to crash

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Eric Pretorious 2003-10-02 11:27:14 UTC]

When I follow any of the links from
http://www.intrago.co.uk/products/censornet.php, mozilla crashes.

If I open http://www.intrago.co.uk/products/censornet.php and then add a tab
(using Cntrl-t), mozilla crashes.

This problem began occuring when I was using an earlier version of Mozilla but
persisted even after upgrading mozilla -and- removing ~/.mozilla/. The problem
seemed to start after importing bookmarks exported from Konqueror.

This problem occurs with other sites but with less regularity. (e.g., HotMail
started working after I upgraded Mozilla.)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start mozilla.
2. Enter http://www.intrago.co.uk/products/censornet.php in the address window.
3. Follow any of the links in the menu -or- open a tab.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla disappeared.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have loaded the page.

I had this problem and emerged mozilla-1.4-r4 using USE="+gtk2" and this
problem disappeared.

[Comment 2 Luca Barbato 2003-10-24 19:28:05 UTC]

Eric is the issue still present?

[Comment 3 Eric Pretorious 2003-11-02 16:06:09 UTC]

 I haven't re-emerge'd Mozilla, but yes: I'm still experiencing this problem.

[Comment 4 Andrew Cooks (RETIRED) 2004-02-01 07:47:49 UTC]

This bug has been inactive for 90 days or more.

Please try the latest stable mozilla and reopen this bug if the problem persists.
