> And who'd have thought that some vendors aren't even interested in fixing "non-security" crashes;

While I can't answer that I can tell you that I was very surprised Firefox showed little interest to fix this: https://files.hboeck.de/crashff.html (linux only, crash via notification api, bug open for a year)



It doesn't seem to crash my browser, but I'm assuming it's reproducible due to the existence of that page.


I can reproduce it on Firefox 55 and 56 in Ubuntu Mate, it crashes after I allow the notification. It'd be useful to have a bug link so I can see what the status is. It could be an Ubuntu issue for all I know.


My guess it is for specific versions of the Gnome desktop.


Running Firefox 58 (today's build) with a fork of notify-osd as notification daemon. Doesn't crash.


That link is to crash FF? I thought it was to info about the bug.


Do you have a link to the bugzilla report?
