Hrós til Mozilla manna
Posted on April 29th, 2009 in Forritun, Internetið | 1 Comment »
Það er ótrúlegt að horfa á þá sem að viðhalda og forrita Mozilla Firefox. Ég hef alltaf verið hrifin af Firefox og uppfærslan sem að kom í morgun er ekkert síðri. Og hún er svo áhugaverð að ég varð bara að blogga aðeins um söguna á þessari uppfærslu.
Ástæðan fyrir uppfærslunni var einn böggur, í einu addoni. En afhverju að senda uppfærslu á svona stóru forriti einsog Firefox útaf einum böggi í einum aukahlut? Villan olli því að Firefox krassaði og þegar að Firefox krassar þá sendir hann “crash report”. Og þessi böggur var efst á lista yfir fjölda krassa.
Útaf því ákváðu þeir að uppfæra til þess að laga algengustu villuna.
Hérna er smá spjall á milli Mozilla manna útaf þessum bögg. (smellið hér ef þið viljið lesa allt spjallið)

On Windows, I got reports from 2 users using the HTML Validator extension with
the 3.0.10pre. With this version, and it seems with 3.0.8 pre and 3.0.9 pre,
Firefox crashes when viewing the pages source.

I use your excellent extension and I now believe that my bug 489509 may be in
fact a DUPlicate of this bug 489322.

Confirmed with Firefox 3.0.9 and HTML Validator 0.8.5.2 & 0.8.5.5
When viewing source, application crashes.

Need a regression range here…
Rey: Do we have contacts with the HTML Validator team? We should probably work
with them on a workaround since 3.0.10 won’t be for another month.

Sam, the originator of this bug is the add-on’s author. His name is Marc
Gueury.

I first found this behavior in version 3.0.8pre, maybe this information helps
to track down the bug.

It’s a new topcrash, too. Hard to believe all those people are using HTML
Validator.

I have chosen to downgrade Firefox, i prefer having HTML Validator rather than
FF 3.0.9. Hope u solve this soon.

mgueury: can you extract the code from tidySource.js into a testcase which
crashes by itself?
2009-04-22 16:20:20
I can’t reproduce this in a debug build on Linux, but I *can* reproduce it 100%
reliably in an optimized build. (using HTML Validator version 0.8.5.4 from the
download URL

Verified fixed on Linux in 1.9.0.10 with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686;
en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042315 Firefox/3.0.10.

Marc: This problem is now fixed in Firefox 3.0.10, which is being released
today, specifically for this crash. It typically takes 5-8 days for the bulk of
Firefox users to upgrade. You can probably return your extension to the normal,
fully functional version in a few days. Thanks for reporting the problem!
I will mark it verified1.9.0.10 when I can check on Windows as well.
