FX will just exit. No warning, no error message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Paste a large amount of text 2. 3. Actual Results: Will crash FX 1.0

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041201 Firefox/1.0+ What is meant by large? I have pasted 21127441 bytes of text into this textarea and been able to copy 20908195 bytes back (diff showed only white space changes), the count of lines at just over 219 thousand was the same. (The clip board operations took about 50 minutes each). This may be a valid report, it is essential that Firefox fails in a defined way if one attempts to add more than the proper amount of data into a text field.

Should there be a fixed limit to how much data can be pasted, to thwart overflow attacks, 512 MB perhaps?

alex, do you have a talkback incident report?

alex, see comment 6.

I'm having the same issue: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1 It's not a crash, but a hang. I'm getting nothing on the debug console except the following after I closed it: Program exited with code 031777777777. ContinueDebugEvent (cpid=5636, ctid=5816, DBG_CONTINUE); gdb: child_close, inferior_ptid=5816

Note: a discussion of the hang when accessibility is active is in: bug 510688

This bug report seems to describe a bunch of different issues, all of which are better described by other bugs on bug 302294's dependency list.
