Re: [tor-talk] (Correction) Tor Browser crash

2017-04-17 Thread Joe Btfsplk



I don't think this is really related to this crash. I think it's not the 
problem of the Medium page, but it might be something wrong with NoScript's UI, 
but anyway it is shown in the recording.

Do you have a 3840x2160 screen? I have no idea if TBB handles this - may be 
fine?

Yes, I have a 3840x2160 screen. The shadow takes a while to draw on a big 
screen. (But it also crashes on the unfancy LXDE running on 640x480 resolution)


"Blocked objects," not "blocked scripts?" There's a difference.

"Blocked objects" menu appears. Both scripts and fonts were blocked.

Do you have a discrete GPU card, and are you using the mfg's proprietary 
drivers?  Some (like Nvidia - maybe others) have GPU problems, causing 
crashes, freezes, black screens - if use Linux open source video drivers.


But, it could be a bug - some graphic function in which ever desktop 
you're using (you mentioned shadows); possibly NoScript and / or TBB 
can't handle it.  Have you tried temporarily disabling NS to make sure 
nothing else can cause the same issue.  Though might take a while to 
rule out "everything" else.  Folks in NS forum / support may already 
know about it.  They're usually pretty good at looking into things.  
You'll have to give full details of your OS flavor, version, etc.

Hello! I reproduced the crash without clicking on the menu items fast. 
Generally, I found that if I click on the "Blocked Objects" menu item when the 
sub menu's _shadow effect_ is being drawn, Tor browser crashes.

I don't have to click on it frequently to make Tor browser crash. If I click 
when the _shadow_ of the menu is being drawn, Tor browser crashes.

Hello!


I couldn't reproduce the crash in a virtual machine with Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit 
installed.

I make a correction here: I just reproduced the crash in a virtual machine, but 
it took a few attempts to reproduce.

Virtual machine OS: Ubuntu server 16.04 64-bit with lxde desktop environment.
TBB version: 6.5.1 with default plugins.

Steps to reproduce:
Repeat the steps described in the screen recording.
After a few attempts, Tor Browser window was suddenly gone.
Click on the shortcut icon to start Tor Browser again. It does not say "Tor Browser 
is running."
I'm not an expert on meanings of all TBB debug logs.  Someone else may 
fully understand the following error:


149237***addons.productaddonsERRORRequest failed certificate checks: [Exception... "SSL 
is required and URI scheme is not https."  nsresult: "0x8000 (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  
location: "JS frame ::resource://gre/modules/CertUtils.jsm  :: checkCert :: line 145"  data: no]

Right now, TBB won't let me into my security settings.  IIRC, for highest 
level, it says something like some pages may break or have problems.  IIRC, JS 
is blocked in highest level.  That alone will prevent many pages from loading - 
at all.

As for TBB closing - it may be a bug (or not) when you repeatedly click on the 
blocked object place holder.
In general, repeatedly clicking error popups & many other items can cause 
problems in any browser.  Clicking them 10x won't help.

Does it show you *which* objects were blocked?  Generally, when the blocked scripts 
or objects UI is displayed, you read it for info purposes & close it by 
clicking anywhere else on the page.

Most pages - or the browser - don't crash just because fonts aren't allowed to 
D/L.  Anything's possible.
Does this crashing happen when loading specific site(s), or just at TBB startup 
& home page (if showing TBB home page)?  If it's only a couple of sites, likely 
a problem w/ them.


HiDPI screen. Change the screen resolution to 3840x2160 (4k) resolution. Change "Scale 
for menu and title bars" to >2.5x

Do you have a 3840x2160 screen? I have no idea if TBB handles this - may be 
fine?


When I had to temporarily allow scripts for that page, I clicked on the NoScript (S) icon and immediately selected 
>the first menu item, but that page contains downloadable fonts, so the first menu item does not say 
"Temporarily >allow all this page" but says "Blocked objects." So by mistake I clicked on the 
"Block objects" menu item. Tor >Browser then crashed.

"Blocked objects," not "blocked scripts?"  There's a difference.

OK, so NoScript showed you what you requested (by clicking) - I guess?  Did it 
actually show a list of blocked objects or scripts, or did it hang producing 
that UI?If NS didn't show it, something's blocking - I assume.  If so, 
sounds like a question for NoScript support (forum).



"Later when I wanted to reproduce the crash, I had to click on the menu item [which] said 
"Blocked objects" many times in order to make Tor Browser crash."


Refer to last question.  But, why are you clicking NS menu popup item *so* many 
times?  I see no point, but maybe you've left something out.
 
Does blocked objects / scripts UI ever display correctly? (Y / N).

What happens if you wait (say 30 - 60 sec) for blocked objects UI to display?
If "blocked objects UI" isn't displaying or hangs or won't close, I'd post on 
NoScript forum.

Do you have checked in NS options, Notifications > blocked SCRIPTS to hide 
notices after x seconds?
