Logout button crashing firefox under some linux distros

jamme · 03-05-2008, 04:14 AM

Heya, I recognized a weird bug or so to say from the site. When ever i click log out button it crashes firefox. I've tried it only on CentOS now, will try it with ubuntu later today. I think that this is only linux problem, at least I didn't manage to crash firefox under windows environment and IE is working also ok. It's not any bad bug but i just felt responsibility to tell about it.

EDIT:

I made a few more tests so it seems that it crashes only when you click out from certain pages, i managed to crash it from cards'n'more page, but from lounge, or this thread when logging out it doesn't crash

Thank you for the bug-note. I will report it to VB ASAP. It is an error on their end.

As you mentioned, I tested it in FreeBSD, Slackware, and Ubuntu enviornments, but was unsuccessful in attempting to crash it. Not sure, very odd.

Okay, i made some few more tests, in ubuntu and sun solaris environments. It seems that it doesn't have any pattern how it crashes. I managed to crash firefox few times when i browsed cards'n'more and tried to logout, and then it just didn't crash anymore. I crashes every now and then, with no specific pattern. Same happened with solaris 10 and firefox. It's pretty odd bug. But anyway if this helps, it crashes even before there's the "are you sure you want to logout" noticebox.
