Anderson Lizardo (lizardo) wrote : Segmentation fault when loading HTTPS pages

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox is consistently crashing when the following steps are executed:

1) open firefox in a terminal:

firefox

2) open any http URL that automatically redirects to a https one (I've tested with http://launchpad.net/ and http://mail.yahoo.com/).

3) As soon as the page redirects to the https site (but before page is fully loaded), close the window.

4) Firefox will crash and the following message will appear on console:

(Gecko:5751): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `(null)' in cast to `GtkWidget'

(Gecko:5751): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `(null)' in cast to `GObject'

(Gecko:5751): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_get_data: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Environment:

- Ubuntu Edgy (latest updates)
- firefox 1.99+2.0rc3+dfsg-0ubuntu1
