I've just guessed the component, It's not for sure that networking causes crash. When visiting this page, Mozilla crashes, 100% reproducability on Mandrake Linux 9.0, latest trunk build 2003070305. Talkback: TB22350989M

could be due to Real taking care of the content ? Do you have Real installed, which version ?

Real doesn't report version... :( But it's an old version. I'll try upgrading it.

There's no new version, The one I have is RealPlayer 8 from May 2001, there's no new official version.

This is not a mozilla bug per-se. RedHat use .rpm for package format which also is the extension that relplayer use for realmedia audio. I have gxine set up to handle rpm format (since it can handle real media) and it doesn't crash for me.

This is a realplayer bug

can you submit a new Talkback ID as previous one may have expired ?

(think there's a month before TB IDs expire)

It's really a realplayer bug, since removing the realplayer plugin stopped the crashes. Well, it can also be thought of as a bug in Mozilla's plugin interface (as a crash of plugin brings down the whole browser), but I believe it has already been brought to attention with bug 156493...

Marking as a dupe of bug 156493 seems appropriate to me. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 156493 ***
