firefox 1.5 crashes with yahoo mail
Andre
It doesn't matter if I'm active in yahoo mail or in another firefox window.
I didn't see that odd behavior when yahoo mail is not currently in use.
Does anyone else suffer on these very annoying crashes?
Is any workaround known?
It's Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1)
Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
gwtc
I use Yahoo mail all the time and never had that happen.

Time for another change

But ...
I managed it now to make it certainly happen again:
1 - read a yahoo email
2 - write a reply, do not send but
3 - save as a draft
4 - press the "return to last page" button of the browser
... crash (sometimes it crashes already in step 3)
The 5 extensions I use:
Talkback 1.5.0.1
Google Toolbar for Firefox 1.0.20051122
Forecastfox 0.8.2.5
Adblock v.5 d3 * nightly 42
Yahoo Toolbar 1.0.1.20050805

please bottom post within these newsgroups. Thanks.
I don't know what you mean by #4 'press the "return to last page"
button of the browser'
I can't find a "return to last page" button.
Anyways, I cannot get FF to crash.

ok, ok - the button is called:
"go back one page"

mail. I have not found the cause. I have not even figured out any common
trigger. I've had it crash completely with something as simple as
opening the DHTML menu and even loading an email message or the inbox.
It's really intermittent.

is pretty common. If you run FF in safe mode, you probably won't have
the problem, so it's more than likely an extension causing the trouble.
NoScript and Adblock have been mentioned in these newsgroups as possible
culprits. Experiment by disabling your extensions and see what causes
it. I just use IE for Yahoo mail only and don't have to bother with it.
HeyItsMe
It still crashes.

and Adblock Plus running. You might want to check out the Mozilla
forums; they may have some more uptodate info there.

I'd seriously suggest getting rid of Adblock and replacing it with
Adblock Plus and the Filterset.G updater

While I am all for getting rid of Adblock ;), the problem should be a
different one. Please read here:

Why?
Andre
thank you very much!!
I don't know if this may have solved the problem forever - but at least it
didn't crash ... yet.
Even my reproducible test case seems to run stable now.
Is there any serious problem known with the adblock?
Just curious.
Thanks again

The short answer is "yes", several of us had stability problems with it.

You really should read my post above...

Yes, lots of them. But this crash isn't Adblock's fault for a change.

I am having Adblock Plus 0.6.1.2 and Filterset.G updater 0.3.0.2
Still my yahoo crashes as soon as I click on yahoo inbox in FF.
I am not using yahoo mail because I have gmail. Thus, I don't know when
this problem started.
But, this crashing is peculiar. It should be resolved.
by any chance, could it be some bug caused by Yahoo Messenger 7.5.0.647
Beta that I have recently installed.

Yes, this problem is related to Yahoo Messenger. And once again, you
really should read my post:

this Adblock, and I don't have that. I have a brand new
computer, just installed FireFox 1.5.0.1, and the only
extension I have is the Google Toolbar. I have run the
same configuration on other computers with no problems.
My browser crashes every hour or so, but only when I am
on a Yahoo Mail Beta page--whether in its own browser, or
on a tab.
Any ideas? What more info is needed?

popup blocking for the time being. Yahoo wants to use Javascript and
sometimes Java applets.
Verify your Javascript settings in the preferences for Content, via
Tools->Options:
- is Javascript enabled? If not, check it.
- click on Advanced... (same line on the right). Check all but 'Hide the
status bar', that works for me.
Which system are you running?

This problem isn't Adblock's fault, it is caused by Yahoo Messenger. Do
you have it installed? If so - you should read

It is certainly not installed as an extension to FireFox,
since the only extension I have is Google Toolbar.
When you say installed, do you mean as an extension?
There is some SBC-Yahoo toolbar installed in IE, but
not FireFox.
So, any other ideas?

not everyone is using googlegroups to post to these newsgroups. If
you continue to do so, could you change your habit of posting in the
mozilla.support.* newsgroups. When replying, please do not click on
the Reply To link at the bottom. Instead, click on the Show Options
link at the top, then click on the Reply link at the bottom. This
was, the entire message is preserved and you can trim where needed.
Thanks for your consideration into this matter.

Ahh, heck. I just noticed that Wladimir responded with that exact link.
That's what I get for not reading the whole thread, and responding to a
post a few days old.

Wladimir means the Yahoo! Messenger program, not any sort of extension.
If it had been installed, it could've left that plugin around, so click
the link he posted,

enough, FF doesn't crash. But I can't get the curser to go to the
message window in "compose" mode. "To" and "subject" it will go to, but
not the message window. It will in safe mode though, so perhaps one of
the extensions is still causing some havoc here???

I deleted this (sorry) damned file too and it doesn't crahs anymore! Even
after adding adblock as an extension - it doesn't crash!!
Many thanks to Wladimir!!!
I don't have the behavior you described with the cursor not going into the
message window.
Did you try it with the mouse only? What happens if you are using the tab
key going from "To" to "Subject" and then to the message window?
I'm using google toolbar, launchy, forecastfox and adblock (again). No
problem so far!

think of. It just won't go to the message window in compose, forward or
reply mode. It does in safe mode though. I tried rebooting after
deleting the offending Yahoo dll file, but it still won't go to the
message window. I'm stumped and out of ideas.
At least safe mode works, so I've made a shortcut to Yahoo mail in safe
mode to get around this crashing and now message window problem.

I would rather assume this is an entirely different problem that has
nothing to do with npYState.dll and (probably) Adblock. Could you try
disabling Adblock (whatever variant you are using) in the extension
manager and restarting the browser? If the problem is still there, it
is probably caused by some other extension.
