[Bug 370590] [NEW] unavailable component error causes hanging or crash

[Graeme Ritchie]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The webpage
http://www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com/
always puts up an error window when opened in Firefox. Closing the window by clicking the X symbol as usual sometimes allows normal access to the page, but sometimes Firefox hangs, sometimes it crashes, and sometimes it crashes but leaves a ghost process which has to be killed from the command line using "kill".

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with Firefox 3.0.10 (but this used to happen with
3.0.9 as well).

The error message in the window is (shown in the attached screenshot):

 uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component is not available" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame:: chrome://flashblock/content/flashblock.xml ::  :: line 292" data: no]
