[Bug 87345] Firefox Crashes Running Java Script

[Rich Maurice]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I just installed edgy and I am running firefox 2.0.0.1. I'm taking
online classes from UMUC using a system called Web Tycho. I can view
pages fine but when I attempt to submit data in a java script, it causes
Firefox to shut down. I duplicate this problem 100% of the time. Web
Tycho says they do not support Firefox but this application works fine
in Firefox on a Windows XP (sorry, I had to say it)machine.

Here is the technical info from Web Tycho:

Graduate School Requirements

1. Browsers

    * Netscape Communicator 7.0  (for PC)
    * Internet Explorer 6.0 (for PC)
      Please note that we are in the process of verifying the compatibility of Internet Explorer 7.0 with WebTycho.  While we do not officially support IE7 at this time, we will do our best to help should you contact us for assistance.  If we are unable to resolve problems we will recommend using version 6.0 until testing is complete.

    * Netscape 7.1 (for Macintosh)

2. Computer

    * Windows 2000
    * Windows XP

7. Unacceptable
Any other browser or operating system is not acceptable. This includes Macintosh computers and AOL, Opera, Firefox and older versions of Netscape and IE and beta versions. You may find limited success using alternative technology with WebTycho, but success is not assured.
