[Bug 61193] Re: crash when clicking a specific link
Should Firefox crash when a third party plugin is used? If a plugin crashes, all other pages should be unaffected - right? What kind of rights should a plugin have? Personally I think it should be very limited. Programs should be able to say if they want a third party plugin to mess up their behaviour. So in the case of Firefox it should say - hey plugin, do whatever you want - but don't mess with my memory or my files (.mozilla). Also, the user should be able to show my window, and click on my buttons. Also, don't try to phish my user, and make him enter passwords into a window (that he thinks is Firefox)- so there have to be a way for the user to verify that Firefox is Firefox. Also, the plugin can not take screen shot of any Firefox pages, they are private for the user, and since the plugin propably has network access it could send my private email out in the void. So I think this bug should be reopened. It is not just a Firefox bug, but also a kernelbug (file access), and X bug (unique windows, anti screenshot, allowed window inside application). -- crash when clicking a specific link https://launchpad.net/bugs/61193 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I deleted ~/.mozilla/plugins/flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so. Now the link works. Flash wash installed in an old version of Ubuntu. I think a blacklist of these version should be used, when people install from the repository. Which version is used in that situation? The newest? -- crash when clicking a specific link https://launchpad.net/bugs/61193 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Okay, I can confirm this also with upstream version, Mozilla Firefox 2.0b2. Same bug - maybe it is an X error? I am using Edgy, updated today. -- crash when clicking a specific link https://launchpad.net/bugs/61193 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this with 1.99+2.0b2+dfsg-1ubuntu2. "The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 118 error_code 8 request_code 145 minor_code 3) (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.)" -- crash when clicking a specific link https://launchpad.net/bugs/61193 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've seen the same for example on http://www.protech-ipc.com/ipc/index.asp Click on link "Industrial CPU boards", and Firefox window disapears. Mozilla behaves the same way. Konqueror works fine there. All of them use macromedia flash player. I have not found any crash report.

Works fine for me here. Since you seem to refer to a crash report, can you please attach it here? Do you use third-party plugins like Flash? ** Visibility changed to: Public ** This bug is no longer flagged as a security issue ** This bug has been flagged as a security issue ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- crash when clicking a specific link https://launchpad.net/bugs/61193 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
