http://elm-lang.org/blog/announce/0.12.3.elm crashes Firefox 29

[cheglastgnat]

The announcement page 0.12.3.elm loads some text and images, then instantly kills Firefox.
0.12.2.elm does the same. 0.12.1.elm and 0.12.elm are fine and do NOT crash.

Browser: 29.0.1 with HTTPS Everywhere, Ghostery, FlashBlock, Privacy Badger.
System: 3.10.39-1-MANJARO x86_64 using NVidia driver 331.67 on a GTX 660.

Does this happen without all of the extensions? Firefox 29 seems to be working fine for me, and I have not heard any other reports. Do you mind adding the extensions one-by-one to try to localize the bad interaction?

[cheglastgnat]

It happens with all extensions deactivated, and also in FF's safe mode.

Here's the gdb backtrace, because why not ;)

Ah, I got a bit confused when you said 0.12.2 crashes as well, that link should be taken down!

In any case, based on the fact that Manjaro seems quite young, it sounds like a driver issue. If you go to other websites that use WebGL (like this one) do you get similar problems?

[cheglastgnat]

Ok, that's it. Shadertoy.com and the Github STL viewer plugin also crash FF, as well as my own WebGL widget.

I got a bunch of system updates in the last days and apparently happened to not visit any WebGL page in the meantime... yours was the first by coincidence :)

[evancz]

Phew, glad there wasn't something like this on our side for the release! Thanks for working through this with me! :)
