How reproducible: Consistent - always crashes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox 2. Browse to https://my.pottermore.com/patronus 3. Wait Actual results: Crashes. It claims to have reported a bug so you probably have an abrt log somewhere. Expected results: playing the video ... it works on Firefox Nightly from Mozilla. Additional info:
I found the abrt log ... the report process claimed it was a duplicate of bug #1349736 ... I'm not convinced after reading that bug; I'm not running Wayland!!
Can you please attach a backtrace according to those instructions? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Debugging_guidelines_for_Mozilla_products Thanks!
I got about a half hour into this, repeatedly entering return at all the pauses before I finally gave up. Then I restarted Firefox in Safe Mode to disable all the add-ons and the site works. So you can close this as "Unable to reproduce" for now. It's clearly not a Fedora problem if disabling add-ons fixes it. ;-)
Thanks for the info.
It turns out Mozilla's bug tracker has this ... it's a common site. So if it comes up again the URL there is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1304873
