User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 Mozilla consistently exits after I press the back button while visiting this site. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/click/movie-1115355/reviews.php?critic=columns&sortby=default&page=1&rid=803446 I am running the talkback-enabled version, but it appears that Mozilla just exits without any warning. All open Mozilla windows close. Mozilla did not crash when I visited the site listed in bug 169245. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Mozilla with any start page 2. Visit the listed URL and allow it to load completely 3. Press the "back" button Actual Results: All open Mozilla windows closed. The application stopped running, but there was no opportunity to give feedback through the talkback user agent. Expected Results: Gone to the page displayed in step 1.
worksforme with linux trunk build 20021025 if you start Mozilla from a terminal, does it print any message when it crashes?
Summary: Mozilla exits/crashes when back button is pressed → Mozilla exits/crashes when back button is pressed
When started from a Konsole, Mozilla exits with the following error. Unknown option spawn_wait_ms. Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) serial 102 error_code 3 request_code 12 minor_code 0 In addition, this causes Mozilla to freeze the KDE application bar.
ok, the rottentomatoes page includes a review from www.ew.com via a frame. that site seems to sometimes include flash (ads) in an iframe, which seems to trigger bug 173938 (see also bug 176898) do you have flash installed? if so, could you remove the plugin temporarily and see if it still crashes? also, if this is bug 173938, I think you should just be able to trigger the crash by simply reloading the page (maybe a few times).
Keywords: crash
After removing the Flash plugin, Mozilla no longer crashes. If the Flash plugin is installed, then pressing reload also crashes Mozilla.
