FF crashes

Question

This procedure in FF: screenshot -> crop marking -> crop -> copy makes FF crash every time (after the screen has turned sort of greyish

Accepted Answer

Thanks for the info.

Does changing of any action of the chain affect the result?

I mean, what is happening if you perform following actions for example?

1. screenshot -> add annotation -> crop marking -> crop -> copy
2. screenshot -> copy
3. screenshot -> crop marking -> crop -> save to file
4. screenshot -> crop marking -> crop -> export to external editor

Does FF get crashed after you exit the editor? What is happening if you switch off auto-exit after generation of output (in the preferences)?

Answer

Ok, I've implemented some test points I'd like to be tested at crashing configurations.

The link is a debug version of the next release and I think it
will help us discovering what's happening with FX.

Following is a short instruction on how to perform testing.

1. Unpack the extension, the archive is password-protected, the
password is "fireshot"

2. Install the unpacked file. To perform it, simple drag and drop it
from explorer window onto Firefox window. If this is not working, try
double-clicking it, then associate it with Firefox. Try
double-clicking again, then follow the instructions.

3. Make sure that debug version has been installed. Open the addons
list and check whether version of the extension is "0.299d" (see the
screenshot)

4. Start testing the extension by performing your usual actions that lead to firefox crash.
Make sure you've managed to hangup/crash the browser several times.

5. Open the folder located at C:\ in your explorer. A new file with name "fireshot_log" should appear.

6. Attach this file to the e-mail message and send me to bugfix(at)screenshot-program.com

Thanks in advance!

I've got the same problem as above... Firefox crashes every time I use FireShot. I've re-installed the add-on twice and both times it's worked fine for one or two screenshots, then we're back to crashing the browser again. Has anyone figured out what is the cause of this and what can be done to prevent it?
