Firefox crash on apple trailers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I'm watching a video on http://trailers.apple.com/ and try to exit the 
video, firefox crashes and gecko-mediaplayer keeps playing the file (I cannot 
see the video, but can hear the audio). I need to open the system monitor and 
close gnome-mplayer manually. I'm using the new 1.0 version

Can you run firefox from the terminal with the -g option. And duplicate the 
crash and then type 'bt' at the gdb prompt when it crashes. I've tried to 
duplicate it here about 10 times and have not been able to make it happen.

When I run "firefox -g" I get gdb prompt, but no firefox window is opening. If 
I open it manually and after the crash type "bt" it says "no stack".
I realized that when I click on the "watch now" button, the video starts three 
times (separated by few seconds), like it is opening different files one after 
the other. When I want to exit the video and click on the upper left cross or 
anywhere else on the screen, firefox terminates and I get a Mozilla Crash 
Report window.
I'm using ubuntu 10.10 amd64 and the default firefox version. So I don't know 
if there is something wrong with my built of gnome-mplayer or what...

Type 'run' at the gdb prompt to start firefox.

Firefox is supposed to run plugins in a separate process so that it doesn't 
crash if a plugin crashes. So I'm wondering if it something special with the 
apple site. BTW, what page are you testing on at apple.com?

ok, I typed run and could reproduce the crash again. It crashes on any video, 
for example http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/zookeeper/

This is what I get before typing bt

(gnome-mplayer:5376): Gdk-WARNING **: 
/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.22.0/gdk/x11/gdkdrawable-x11.c:952 drawable is not a 
pixmap or window

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007fffd3ff3784 in CPlugin::SetWindow(_NPWindow*) () from 
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so

When I type bt I get a long output, it's in the attached file

I'm sorry it is not super helpful, but is what you asked.. If I find a ppa with 
gnome-mplayer 1.0 I will install it to see if the problem is in the package I 
built.

Well, I have to apologize for wasting your time, I updated gnome-mplayer to 
1.0.0-svn1774 from ppa:ed10vi86/tst and the problem with apple.com/trailers is 
gone, so I guess the problem was in the package I built.
I guess this issue can be marked as solved

oh you were not using gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.0 and gnome-mplayer 1.0.0? Well 
that would definitely result in a crash. I even put it in the release notes..

I was using gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.0 final release, I compiled 
myself the package. Now I updated gnome-mplayer to 1.0.0-svn1774.
I was testing minutes ago, and exiting the video worked ok for a couple of 
times, then when I tried again, it crashed. I will wait until gecko-mediaplayer 
is updated to 1.0.0-svn1774 in ppa:ed10vi86/tst to see if the problem is 
finally gone.

I get the same result when watching trailers from apple.com. I'm using v 1.0.0 
on Archlinux. I did not package the file myself, but installed i from 
archlinux's repos. It looks like the video is opening three times. This is the 
video I was watching when Firefox crashed :

so is it crashing or opening 3 times... if 3 times, please open another bug 
report.. it is a known issue with certain apple files (they do a reference file 
with the same video in three different sizes).. so gnome-mplayer sees it as a 
playlist of three files.
