Firefox and Javascript
I have a window with a variable number of sets of radio buttons I need to get the values of, so I have some javascript that does a few iterations of ids and uses eval to read the values since i don’t know in advance what the radio buttons are called. Sometimes it works flawlessly. sometimes Firefox just disappears, and sometimes this happens:
Firefox telling me there's something wrong with my javascript.
Safari seems to work ok, and of course all the javascript debugging tools I have are part of Firefox. Oh well.

Paul, if you submitted those reports, you can visit the browser URL about:crashes and see links to your reports. If you posted a couple of those links, I could figure out where it’s crashing and make sure that there is a bug filed with Mozilla to fix the problem.

Oh, Yikes, I see. Sorry, I misunderstood. The Firefox crash reporter itself is crashing at the same time as Firefox. That means it’s probably not sending the reports to Mozilla. That’s very odd.
Hi Asa – wow – thanks for the reply. I’m impressed. But yes it’s the crash reporter that’s crashing. Only sometimes though – if it’s just firefox I’ve been sending the reports in – I’ve got the id of one of them – 71d691ef-3702-4aec-af6c-c1e982090409 if that’s any good. I don’t see any links though.
Paul, it looks like that particular crash is fixed in Firefox 3.5 pre-release builds. If you’re daring, you could try the recently released beta at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

Cool – Thank you, I will try that. I guess I’ll just post a blog entry if I find anything else – seems to be a pretty good way to pass on information
Yeah. I see pretty much any mention of Mozilla or Firefox
Good luck, and thanks for choosing Firefox!
