RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Matthew Mosesohn 2012-01-23 16:30:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
In testing Firefox 10 beta 3, I was trying to hack up some website for testing something with Javascript.  I discovered that all javascript commands need to be run from the Web console.  Upon trying to input to the console, I've realized that inputting about 4 characters or so will cause it to crash every time on my system.  This occurs both on an existing Firefox profile and a new one (even in safe mode with all plugins disabled)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-10.0-0.1.b3.el6.x86_64
xulrunner-10.0-0.1.b3.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox
2. Tools -> Web Developer -> Web Consle
3. Type any characters into the toolbar
  
Actual results:
The application hangs for a few seconds then crashes

Expected results:
Text should be input into the web console

Additional info:
I tried disabling iBus and running in safe mode with a new profile. None of this seems to fix the issue.

The only workaround is to copy and paste the entire command into the Web Console, rather than typing.
Comment 2 Matthew Mosesohn 2012-01-23 19:27:55 UTC 
I found upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645886

This issue looks identical.  Comment 5 recommends running "call DumpJSStack()" while the program is crashed.  I have, and here is the output:

(gdb) call DumpJSStack()
0 hidePopup() ["chrome://global/content/bindings/popup.xml":108]
    menuBox = [object BoxObject]
    popupBox = [object BoxObject]
    this = [object XULElement]
1 AP_hidePopup() ["resource:///modules/AutocompletePopup.jsm":136]
    this = [object Object]
2 JSTF_clearCompletion() ["resource:///modules/HUDService.jsm":5476]
    this = [object Object]
3 JSTF_complete(type = 2) ["resource:///modules/HUDService.jsm":5410]
    accepted = undefined
    popup = [object Object]
    inputValue = "as"
    inputNode = [object XULElement]
    this = [object Object]
4 JSTF_inputEventHandler(aEvent = [object UIEvent]) ["resource:///modules/HUDService.jsm":5164]

Comment 3 Jan Horak 2012-02-08 11:41:16 UTC 
It's more related to optimized build of Firefox with gcc 4.4.x:

Comment 9 Jakub Jelinek 2012-02-29 10:49:40 UTC 
Looks like a GCC 4.4 bug, I've filed http://gcc.gnu.org/PR52430 to track it.
As a quick workaround, you can compile that single TU (preferably for gcc 4.4 only) with -fno-ipa-cp, or you could tweak the callers of the growStorageBy method in the TU like:
 Vector<T,N,AP>::append(U t)
 {
     ReentrancyGuard g(*this); ((void) 0); ((void) 0); ((void) 0); ((void) 0);
-    if (mLength == mCapacity && !growStorageBy(1))
+    int incr = 1;
+#if defined (__GNUC__) && __GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ == 4
+    asm ("" : "+r" (incr));
+#endif
+    if (mLength == mCapacity && !growStorageBy(incr))
         return false;

(or add a dummy
#if defined (__GNUC__) && __GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ == 4
__attribute__((used)) static void
foo (Vector<whatever,whatever,whatever> *p, int incr)
{
  p->growStorageBy(incr);
}
#endif
) to make sure all the calls to growStorageBy aren't with argument constant 1 in the TU.
