InformAction Forums

This seem bizarre, but is reliably reproducible.

Fx 3.6.12, NS 2.0.6rc2, FG 1.2.5, new profile

1. Starting with a new profile with NS and FG
2. go to http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sum ... iewer.html
3. forbid googlesyndication.com, allow kowalczyk.info - page refreshes
4. click on "SumatraPDF-1.1.zip" - download dialog opens
5. while the dialog is still up, wait until the page redirects to http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sum ... after.html
6. in the dialog, select flashgot (with some download manager), click ok
7. download manager doesn't open, the following is logged in the error console:

   Code: Select all

   Error: document.defaultView is null
   Source File: file:///<profile path>/extensions/%7B19503e42-ca3c-4c27-b1e2-9cdb2170ee34%7D/components/flashgotService.js
   Line: 902
   

8. if you allow googlesyndication.com, everything works

It doesn't seem a NS bug, nor strictly googlesyndication.com-related, but rather FG not being robust enough to cope with gone away documents.
I'm gonna fix this in next FG dev build, thanks.

That's what I thought too, but it seems to always work without NS or with googlesyndication.com allowed. And stops working as soon as you forbid it. I suppose it could be the timing changes.
