Firefox crashes upon visit on certain pages, like this one http://www.dsa.gr/e-%CE%B4%CE%B9%CE%B1%CE%B2%CE%BF%CF%8D%CE%BB%CE%B5%CF%85%CF%83%CE%B7/%CE%AC%CF%81%CE%B8%CF%81%CE%BF-313-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%B1%CE%B4%CE%BF%CE%BB%CE%AF%CE%B5%CF%85%CF%83%CE%B7-%CE%B4%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%83%CF%84%CF%8E%CE%BD for example. The crash occurs when I visit the page, by clicking on a link and the browser is closed eg: a link from an email or viber.

If I visit the page by typing the address or through google's results or by clicking the same external link (email etc) when the browser is already open the crash doesn't occur. I believe this bug has something to do, with the one that it has mentioned here http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2934131

I am not able to reproduce the crashing when loading that link from email. Would you provide a crash id?

Of course the crash Id is 3b2ddf92-6618-4e5a-b9c4-88f502150518. I've tried also to reproduce the bug, by opening a link from an email app and it doesn't occur. It seems that it only happens when I open links from viber. I'll try to see if this also happens to links from skype.

I've just tested skype and it opens the link without a problem. It seems that the crash happens only by opening links from viber

Let's check for a report

  • Your crash Report link bp-3b2ddf92-6618-4e5a-b9c4-88f502150518
  • Crash Signature: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=186; regionStart=0; regionLength=223 at org.mozilla.gecko.mozglue.GeckoLoader.nativeRun(Native Method)

(Personally do not understand Android crashes but the link may help others. ~J99 )

I've done some further testing. And it turns out you have to visit the same page by this link, in order to reproduce the crash. Now the crash happens in skype, but not in k9-mail.

Another strange think is that I have to type this link in order to post it in my answer. If I try to copy-paste it, the link automatically turns to the one of my first post.

I was able to reproduce the crash also with the following link. It seems there is some kind of bug with greek characters within the links.
