MASTER firefox crash [@js_GetGCStringRuntime] [@JS_GetFunctionName]

[peterdv]

Omitting protocol ('file://') from URL causes firefox-bin to crash

Binary package hint: firefox

Start browser.
In URL field type path to local file, without the protocol part (i.e.: /tmp/index.html)
Hit return
=> this crash.

Workaround: be explicit
In URL field type path to local file, with the protocol part (i.e.: file:///tmp/index.html)
Hit return
=> It works

Cannot reproduce on current feisty. Firefox succeeded in showing /tmp/index.html, whose contents where 'asdfasd' (i.e. not HTML).

In the mean time, I have upgraded my machine from firefox
2.0.0.1+0dfsg-0ubuntu2 to 2.0.0.1+1-0ubuntu1

Using this new version, the problem is solved.

Thanks for Your assistance.
