Soon after going to The Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/uk PM 27a2 crashes. (Tested on Linux.) This is what the error console shows:

No problem with the site either on Windows 7, a2 x86 -- displays fine even the half-vertical advertisement that pushes the content down and gets priority over the page header even ;P

Soon after going to The Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/uk PM 27a2 crashes. (Tested on Linux.)

Confirmed (also on version alpha1) on Ubuntu 16.04 x64 - the Terminal: "palemoon --jsconsole"):

Code: Select all

Vector smash protection is enabled.

The line indicated is a deliberate program exit when mAbortOnError is set (in the ctor it's set to false, but the initialization for the Chrome set it)
So, there's a problem with inter-process messaging with flash on Linux... somewhere.

PluginModuleChild::InitForChrome has the line GetIPCChannel()->SetAbortOnError(true); in it. This causes any messaging channel channel that throws an error and is not closing at the time to cause a runtime abort (and forcefully exit the browser). I think that's quite drastic of a result and should just toss back the error and pass it up the chain instead (which it would if not set to abort)

[Moonchild]

I've made a change to make this non-fatal on Linux. Next pre-release should be able to handle this without this particular crash.

Moonchild: Thanks for that.
