Reproduced on Firefox 1.06 & 1.5 Beta 1. Site delivers a single cookie, then browser exits. Tried disabling Javascript, problem persists. This is a very MS Windows-centric site, obviously. I'd like to know how to capture more information on this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit http://www.tcmagazine.info/ 2. 3. Actual Results: A single cookie is delivered, then browser exits. Expected Results: Display the page. Extensions inlcude: Dom Inspector 1.8b4 (on Firefox 1.5b) Adblock 0.52.039 (both) Colorzilla 0.83 (both) Webdeveloper 09.4 (both) ViewCookies 1.3 (on Firefox 1.06) DevBoi 0.26 (on Firefox 1.06)
(In reply to comment #0) I would like to add the following: When launched from the command line, the crash produces the following output: The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 13031 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051005 Firefox/1.4.1 ID:2005100505 In windows this is WFM.
1. Adblock 0.52.039 is poor on branch, try Adblock Plus at http://bene.sitesled.com/adblock.htm 2. Have you tried in -safemode ?
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051003 Firefox/1.4.1 This WFM on Linux with a current 1.5 branch build.
I tried a couple of "blank slate" installs (removed .mozilla profile directory, unpacked fresh copies of Firefox 1.0.6 & 1.5b). No extensions. No plugins. Same result. Tried -safemode. Same result. I'll do my best to dissect the page and see where it crashes. Try a branch build, maybe, but I am on dialup.
I retrieved the offending page using wget -k http://www.tcmagazine.info/ Viewing the local copy also caused Firefox to crash. I commented out the style sheet. Success. Firefox DID NOT crash. I downloaded the style sheet and pointed the style sheet directive to the local copy. Success. Firefox DID NOT crash. I don't see anything particularly unusual about this style sheet, except that it is quite large -- over 29k. I did notice that the site (IIS 6) specified Connection: close, so I turned off pipelining, but that did not solve the problem. Peter Yellman
