Hi,

I have found a reproducible bug that causes Firefox to crash whenever I go
to this web page: http://www.myspace.com/forsupernaturalfans

* Output from 'uname -a'.
FreeBSD GGBSD.greatguide.co.za 8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #5: Mon Jan
25 10:10:29 SAST 2010
peterb(a)GGBSD.greatguide.co.za:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL
amd64

* Date/time stamp from www/firefox35/Makefile.
GGBSD% ls -l /usr/ports/www/firefox35/Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4058 Jan 17 00:52
/usr/ports/www/firefox35/Makefile

* Where/when did the problem occur: configuring, building, or running
firefox
while running

* How can you reproduce the problem?
by going to the above mentioned web page

the output I get is:

NP_Initialize
New
SetWindow
SetWindow
NewStream
WriteReady
Write
decoding...
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
(Details: serial 34 error_code 17 request_code 142 minor_code 5)
(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.)



Kind regards

Peter Badenhorst

Just a data point - this page works fine with firefox 3.6 from the ports
tree.

I compiled and installed 3.6 in www/firefox3-devel and it crashed again.
This is the output near the end, I compiled it with debug info:

nsStringStats
=> mAllocCount: 26879
=> mReallocCount: 6803
=> mFreeCount: 16552 -- LEAKED 10327 !!!
=> mShareCount: 28468
=> mAdoptCount: 2344
=> mAdoptFreeCount: 2341 -- LEAKED 3 !!!

Well, what can I say? I just tried it again and it definitely succeeds
for me.

One thing which may make it work for me is that I have the NoScript plugin
installed, which may be blocking nasty stuff on this site. I notice there's
some flash present. I have (a) Flashblock installed and (b) a working Adobe
flash plugin.

I installed the add-ons you mentioned but all they did was prevent me from
using the flash plugin (although it didn't crash anymore). Flash is supposed
to be enabled, it says so in its plugins page but none of the flash sites
work, some cause Firefox to crash.
I am using Opera now instead. The FreeBSD version of Opera doesn't crash but
it also doesn't allow me to use flash (even though it says the plugin is
installed). The linux version of Opera allows me to use flash with no
crashing :-)
