TbSE/mupdf — Issue #1: Firefox crashes when trying to open certain files
Author: TbSE
Created: 2011-10-16 10:40:37+00:00
State: open

Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP3.
Firefox version: 3.6.23.
npmupdf DLL used: 0.4-mpmupdf( https://github.com/downloads/TbSE/mupdf/TbSE-mupdf-0.4-npmupdf-bin.zip).

When trying to open the following files, from Mikal's PDF Database, Firefox crashes:
http://www.stillhq.com/pdfdb/000016/data.pdf,
http://www.stillhq.com/pdfdb/000017/data.pdf.
These files crash Firefox, whether opened directly from the links mentioned, or downloaded and opened locally using Firefox

The mupdf executable from the aforementioned zip file succeeds in opening and showing these files( when saved and opened locally), as does the npmupdf.dll, that used to be provided by http://www.mupdf.com, when used with Firefox.

The same problem occurs with the Opera web browser.
