Description Jan Engelhardt 2010-10-09 14:20:21 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.6.10-0.3.1 Firefox/3.6.10

Firefox claims:

"The image http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fe/Puente_Romano_Panoramica_1.jpg cannot be displayed because it contains errors."

Which is not quite true, since gqview can display it.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/Shehra_02.jpg was also affected. (Then at that time, Firefox crashed, and on restore it displayed it. I have absolutely no clue what's up. Sounds like silent corruption.)

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse around Wikipedia, look at the images (not thumbs on the article page, not the intermedia Image:xyz pages, but the picture in its full raw resolution)
2. Observe error message
3.
Actual Results:  
Cannot display foo.jpg

Expected Results:  
Display the image.

The mentioned and attached testcases work for me with FF4.0b7pre.
I know this version is not final but it will end up in 11.4 so marking as fixed.

Turns out the bug is a different one, cf. bug #672055.

Comment 4 Jan Engelhardt 2011-02-17 13:38:08 UTC

In other words, firefox does not handle a NULL return from malloc somewhere, tho I don't blame it.
