Can you let know whoever looks after the blog that it is crashing with the latest firefox 11.0.

Not immediately on getting a page up, but when the loading is finished.

If I interupt it's downloading with the stop button it's ok for that page.

Did you file a bug report at Mozilla?

Could not reproduce here with Firefox 11.0 either. Could you:

* report your exact system config (OS, version, Firefox version and build - see about:buildconfig)
* report the matching crash log (see about:crashes) or track in the log what could have triggered the crash.

In the meantime, I'll check what could see strange in the blog behaviour. Thanks.

Mozilla was auto-reported twice at the time

OS can be Puppy Linux or Mageia1, both give the same result.

From what I think is the Mageia1 crashlog:

X_CreatePixmap: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation); 18 requests agoxpcom_runtime_abort(###!!! ABORT: X_CreatePixmap: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation); 18 requests ago: file /builds/slave/rel-m-rel-lnx-bld/build/toolkit/xre/nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp, line 190)

------------------------------
What gets me, is that I can see what's there as long as the download 'circle' is spinning or if I manually stop it, if I let it 'complete' it errors out!

and yes, it still happens!
Comment 4 Romain d'Alverny 2012-04-06 11:17:50 CEST
Additional questions:
 - does it crash on both blog home page (http://blog.mageia.org/en/) and an individual article page (say, http://blog.mageia.org/en/2012/04/05/revised-release-schedule-for-mageia-2/)?
 - what happens if you disable javascript prior to loading the blog page?
Comment 5 jon scsi 2012-04-08 14:24:20 CEST
Thanks Romain,

Yes, any blog page, and as I said it's only if the page completes it's download, If I interupt with the stop button it's OK. I need javascript for a couple of my addons, but it works ok on other blog and related websites, just yours crashes (so far).

And I also tried Midori earlier and the problem DID NOT appear then.

regards

> I need javascript for a couple of my addons,

Right, but I'm just asking you to deactive Javascript for this very test, to make sure it's caused by a JS piece (likely, but I can't find a track yet and reproduce), or not. :-)
Comment 7 jon scsi 2012-04-09 01:50:15 CEST
ok, didn't understand, sorry

no, that didn't fix it, I even disabled flash in case that was the problem, but that wasn't it either!

maybe I need to rebuild my ff config in case something has corupted, give me a day or two, as there is an awfull lot in it, even if I don't add my bookmarks files.
Comment 8 jon scsi 2012-04-10 23:55:31 CEST
no, same result, sorry
Comment 9 jon scsi 2012-04-12 07:18:15 CEST
and, just as a last thought, I 'shifted' my config away from where it should be and started ff11 up and manually tried to get the blog, it still crashed!

I wonder if a paage or script on it's been barred somewhere in the stream between it's server and my isp?

I shall ask them to investigate that possability, so leave it for a day or two..
Comment 10 jon scsi 2012-04-16 04:55:59 CEST
no, isp can get it ok, damn!

also deleted, rebooted and reinstalled ff11 so that's not it

blast!

wonder it it's a lib version problem, next to work out (me), would have thought ff would check before allowing install.
Comment 11 jon scsi 2012-04-18 06:26:43 CEST
you may be happy to know after all this, that it's a firefox problem!

If I understand it correctly from a ff chat overnight:
Although I have glx1.3+ installed for my intel video, i'm not using it, using direct rendering instead as I have problems elsewhere with it and awaiting driver fix.

The install process for ff11 requires it to be 1.3+ and active to do everything
however it only checks for it's presence, not it's actual use!

closing the bug
