Firefox 3.0.1 crashes when visiting Rescuetime dashboard. It consumes all of my CPU time until I close that tab

I'm going to mark this problem as being solved with the release of Firefox 3.0.1

I really want to thank all of the people that sent in crash reports that helped Mozilla track down what was going on.

Thank you!

Yeah, no crashes over here either with the latest Firefox (and the latest stable RescueTime).

It's been 2 days since I upgraded to FF 3.0.1 and using it alongside RT. There has not been a single crash. I guess that closes this problem.

Joe, I'm still curious though, if you guys figure out what fix in FF 3.0.1 solved your problem, do share us the technical details.

Still no crash over here.

Joe replied on July 18, 2008 13:59 to the problem "RescueTime crashes Firefox 3" in RescueTime:

Doing a quick status check to see if any of the testers have continued to experience Firefox crashes related to RescueTime. We've had our test scripts running pretty constantly over the last 24 hours and have not had crash issues when using Firefox 3.0.1.

Thanks!

Until now, I have no problems with the new versions. Hope that will not change ;)

G-T replied on July 17, 2008 16:31 to the problem "RescueTime crashes Firefox 3" in RescueTime:

Ok, I also updated both. Now let's have a look if it does not crash anymore. In the last time it happened a lot.

I updated to 3.0.1 this morning (on XP) and previously downloaded the RT beta above. So far I haven't had any crashes. If that changes I will post again.

Joe replied on July 17, 2008 15:45 to the problem "RescueTime crashes Firefox 3" in RescueTime:

Correct, just update to Firefox 3.0.1 and test with either the current released RescueTime (1.0.5.20) or the test version that was posted above (1.0.6.04).

I have been running our test scripts on both versions all morning and have yet been able to get FF3 to crash.

G-T replied on July 17, 2008 15:35 to the problem "RescueTime crashes Firefox 3" in RescueTime:

...and update FF up to 3.0.1? Or do anything else?

Joe replied on July 17, 2008 14:29 to the problem "RescueTime crashes Firefox 3" in RescueTime:

Though it is certainly too early to tell for sure, we have been unable to duplicate the crashing issues with the Firefox 3.0.1 update.

I'd love to have a couple of other users who have had crash issues help us test this out today.

Also same here. Not so often like others, but to often. Also see my last post here: http://getsatisfaction.com/rescuetime...

llopis replied on July 15, 2008 18:48 to the problem "RescueTime crashes Firefox 3" in RescueTime:

Same here, I get consistent crashes in Firefox with RescueTime running. It crashes about once every 10 minutes, like j0dan said. Mostly with Google Calendar and GMail.

Joe replied on July 14, 2008 20:02 to the problem "RescueTime crashes Firefox 3" in RescueTime:

j0dan, thanks for pointing me at that bug listing.

Here is one of the recent crash reports from our testing system:
http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report...

Here are also a couple of others:

http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report...

http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report...

So, it looks to me like it is not a consistent crash locate within Firefox, but it is consistently a: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

One of our users has a set of javascripts that can fairly consistently cause Firefox to crash when RescueTime is running. The problem is that his scripts and website are private, so we are trying to put together a test case on our servers to duplicate the scenario. Once we have test case that consistently recreates the crash, we will get that information to Mozilla.

I've already created a very small .net application with the specific call to Firefox that causes the crash (AccessibleObjectFromWindow), now we just need the corresponding web components in place so we can recreate the crash for Mozilla.

What are some of the crash reports?

I've been getting crashes of [@ nsDocShell::SetupNewViewer(nsIContentViewer*)] and the problem went away the second I uninstalled RescueTime. I had it crashing constantly since the day FF 3 came out and haven't had a crash in several days now.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug... for more info on the crash I was experiencing.

Hi Joe,

It seems to happen irrespective of the site I am visiting. I have visited quite a few sites over the past couple of days and FF crashes every 10 mins irrspective of the site I visit.

Joe replied on July 14, 2008 18:42 to the problem "RescueTime crashes Firefox 3" in RescueTime:

We suspect that it has to do with a situation where javascript opens and closes browser tabs, but if you have a specific website that you are going to and could let us know the URL, that would be very helpful. We're trying to put together a test case for Mozilla and looking for things that seem to trigger it.

Thanks
