Firefox crashes following link into iTunes

[davidpbrown]

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox 3.6.3 crashes promptly as it follows a link from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH4oGJcCzdM through to iTunes.

Restarting, Firefox then falls over each time until the resume for that page is unticked.

I thought it might be something the page's html code but I used instead wget and threw it into Firefox, which shows the page ok but for an error ~'invalid parameters' above the main body content. I wonder it's a header issue then before it reads the html.

The link for me was http://www.youtube.com/cthru?c2b=itunes&key=JLT-fhLa511VxYKiFh9EXZ8JaUJ-rHp77ad-dkBVmhXFn-f9OzOSah4JBHiTd5IhFifv60Bu21mKTAVTRP_tShzXEkcEpF1k4HRSAZGZykNaQoAnRpFsVLaAXsWhKhSreP4K2E89Uq_YReDEXzbSg3PBIAIASPk2GQcHTWTIrUsDyylfAH03RmDTlXKD71DRgZAHtaHDpBp7qDFzr5rR6S-YwKx9X2CzYzcIdEexS7SptC1HyV3Fx3o1wQNa9QSbkPM4uBroS7nA8MJxew-BzM69fBdvTs9KPt6gduULPkrAPJD2c68BmbMrC8zWRmtcNiH7WVqaNDM%3D&v=eH4oGJcCzdM

Could you please generate an apport crash report for this? A crash report will help in resolving your problem.
You can enable apport for one instance like this in the terminal:
sudo service apport start force_start=1

You may find it helpful to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport if you're having trouble creating a crash report. I am marking this invalid as apport will open a new bug when the crash is generated. Please include any relevant information from this report in the new bug report. If you cannot generate a crash report, you can reset the status of this one to new and we will try something else. Feel free to subscribe me to the new bug report so I can assist you further.

Done. See #598799 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/598799

It looks to be the edgesuite.net scripts causing this.
