Handler function NRL_getSecurityInfo threw an exception: TypeError: this.transport is null

[Wise Melon]

I wasn't doing anything special at the time, and then I suddenly saw this error in my Firefox console log:

This issue is still present on Firefox 45 on Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.

I have now also file a report on this issue upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1256721

[brian (go-gators-go)]

i am hitting this as well, 2-3 times a day. 3-4 firefox windows with 3-8 tabs each, so 'power'.. i'll try to narrow now which window or if it is a plug-in or what.. 16.04.02 with HWE kernel.. previously (14.04 and maybe early 16.04) crashed looked more graphics related, but still couldn't ID it..

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

I'm setting this bug to "Incomplete" as it's not seen any activity for some time. If this is still an issue when using a maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know otherwise this bug report will be closed in approximately 60 days time.

Reporter no longer uses Launchpad
No comment here re issue for over three years
No reply to comment #6 after 90+ days

Last report upstream was over 4 years ago and the upstream issue
(which was the reported by the originator of this report) is still
in "Unconfirmed" status

Closing as "Invalid" as there nothing to suggest that this is an
issue in a currently supported release of Ubuntu.
