Description Shlomi Fish 2012-08-29 09:39:24 CEST
Description of problem:

Mageia's Firefox-15.0 Crashes Upon Entering the jamendo.com URL (in the URL field) in my "Default" profile . The releases.mozilla.org en-US linux-x86_64 firefox handles this fine, and it also does not happen with my different "Bare Essentials" profile.

I'm going to attach the gdb backtrace soon.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /usr/bin/firefox
2. Use my Default profile (available only to me.).
3. Go to the URL.

The GDB Crash backtrace

This is the GDB backtrace. There is a lot of JavaScript functions' recursions there, so it may be a stack overflow.

This version of firefox-beta still crashes when loading the page in the URL for me here in my Default profile. It is fine with /opt/firefox/15.0/firefox/firefox from releases.mozilla.org which is rock solid and does not crash.

thanks to some insights from teuf on IRC, I was able to reproduce this crash in a new profile. The steps are:

1. Create a new Firefox profile.

2. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/jamendo-album-downloader/ and install the extension.

3. Restart firefox

4. Go to the URL in the bug report:

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a112988/once-we-were-angels-single

5. Boom! Mageia's firefox crashes.

------------

I should note that even if I disable this particular extension, then the Firefox Extensions page is very crashy.

OK, a workaround to this patch is to do as root:

1. urpmi lib64proxy-webkit .

2. urpme lib64proxy-mozjs .

So it seems like a duplicate of bug 6299 .
