[RESOLVED] NoScript 1.9.9.15 crashing Firefox?

[phule]

Has anyone besides me noticed Firefox 3.5.5 crashing a lot since installing NoScript 1.9.9.15 on their Macintosh computer?

Yes. After updating to 1.9.9.15 I have seen several crashes, some of which are easily reproducable. After disabling NoScript, I cannot reproduce them.

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5

One way to induce a crash every time is as follows:

1. Log into Facebook (with scripts enabled and use of TLS forced by NoScript)
2. Click on the bottom right corner notifications button
3. Click on any status update message, on the "status" link (as in: xyz updated their _status_)
4. Crash boom bang

I see also many other crashes, but that one is consistently reproducable. And, like I said, disabling NoScript helps.

Hi all,

I observed the same on my Dell D830 with Windows XP Professional version 2002 SP 3. Hard to tell what exactly makes it crash, but the same web pages make Firefox (V 3.5.5) crash consistently. They don't with NoScript deactivated.

Cheers,

Tom

Can I see your latest about:crashes reports?

Consistent crashing when closing my browser with NoScript enabled.
No crashing when closing my browser with NoScript disabled.

Looks like NoScript manages to bypass the fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480352 or something.

I find it interesting that the crash address is consistently 0x656e6567 (ascii "gene").
In the source it is working with the "generation" array at the point of crash (http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ ... cker.h#155).

Please check latest development build 1.9.9.16 and let me know, thanks.

The dev build 1.9.9.16 fixed the problem for me.
Thanks for the quick response!

Please check latest development build 1.9.9.16 and let me know, thanks.

Doesn't seem to fix the issue. I have TLS forced on with Facebook and I'm still experiencing crashes.

Are they reproducible?
Do they happen even if NoScript is the only installed extension?

Are they reproducible?

It seems to happen every time I load the Facebook main page (after login, and I force https for *facebook.com and *fbcdn.net).

Do they happen even if NoScript is the only installed extension?

I disabled all other plugins (but did not uninstall them) and it is reproducable. Is disabling enough as a test case?

[avs]

I disabled all other plugins

And with "plugin" I really meant "add-on".

It seems to happen every time I load the Facebook main page (after login, and I force https for *facebook.com and *fbcdn.net).

Additionally:
If I turn HTTPS forcing off, crash doesn't happen.
If I start using it and add facebook.com and *.facebook.com to the list, still no crash.
If I add fbcdn.net and *.fbcdn.net (these seem to be Facebook's content delivery servers), it crashes every time I follow someone's status or go on the main page.
