Summary: Website visit with firefox crashes X / kde
Product: kde
Version: 3.5
Platform: Mandriva RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: haaber at web.de
Version: 3.5 (using KDE 1.2)
OS: Linux
Here is my (reproducible) strange bug:
I visit the french white pages www.pagesjaunes.fr/pagesblanches/ and enter a
request, say meyer in paris. The result page causes an eternal SIGALRM seqence
in X and the system freezes entirely. On reboot, the firefox profile is (in
most cases) unusuable. Backup it before playing!
firefox 3.0.16 Mozilla/5.0 (en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2
with noscript installed (and I block the site in question), so the bug is
neither java, nor javascript, nor flash related.
When I visit the same page with konqueror, there is no crash.
I conclude that firefox kills X - which should not be possible ...
I am sorry for the very incomplete report, feel free to ask me all details you
want (but, sorry guys, I am not admin, so "install this or that" may be
difficult).
thanks, Bernhard
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Mandriva 2009 edition,
use firefox firefox 3.0.16 Mozilla/5.0 (en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729
Firefox/3.5.2
under KDE 3.5 to visit www.pagesjaunes.fr/pagesblanches/
enter a name you wish and a french city you wish, click "trouver" (find) and
the system freezes.
Actual Results:
X freezes. Computer remains accessible by SSH, X seams to send millions of
SIGALRM that nobody listens to.
On reboot you better have a backup of your .mozilla folder, because the profile
is (often) lost (well, disfunctional) by the crash.
Expected Results:
either it should work or a bug in firefox should cause X to terminate firefox.
