Crash on debug of assignment to non existing property
Nix
FF 2.0.0.1
FB 1.0 B7
+ tons of other development extensions.
I have noticed one strange occurrence with FireBug, it was present in
0.4 and in 1.0. If I set a breakpoint in a JavaScript, where assignment
to nonexistent property of a property takes place, when I hit that line
the whole FF crashes. For instance:
document.getElementById( id ).style.display = "none";
If the element with given ID cannot be found, this will fail, as it
should. The FireBug console will show error. If I set a break point and
get up to that line, FireFox (not FireBug) crashes. I mean totally.
OK, now I must admit that I have over 30 extensions in my development
profile. I like 90% of them and would not like to part with them.
My question is, what can be done about this?
Are you aware of these occurrences? Is it some nasty interaction of
extensions? How can I help diagnosing the problem?
I am primarily Java developer and not very fluent in Windows
applications. The company I work for does have .NET projects, so I do
have Visual Studio 2005 installed, but I'm not sure if it is of any use
with classic binary of FireFox. Is there anything I can do to help you
(and me, eventually)?
Nix.
