TenFourFox Crashes on 10.4.11 Server (8S2159) when trying to print any page. #279

Description

@GoogleCodeExporter
* I read everything above and have demonstrated this bug only occurs on
10.4Fx by testing against this official version of Firefox 4/up (not
applicable for startup failure) - SPECIFY VERSION YOU TESTED AGAINST:

Very fundamental bug - 10.4.Fx crashes on all my Mac OS 10.4.11 Server Systems 
(9S2169) during printing of ANY web page (even the most simple HTML 404 error 
page).  The problem can not be printer dependent (discovered it with two simple 
postscript network printers) but tested the generic save to PS-File option of 
the PDF button in the end.

Cross Testing against a modern Firefox is pretty pointless, but for the sake of 
completeness Firefox 3.6.28 on the same system prints and the problem does not 
occur with the latest Firefox 30 on a Snow Leopard System (Laptop) nor with the 
same 10.4.Fx Version on Leopard 10.5.8 Server (9L34) or any of my 10.4.11 
Standard (8S165) Systems.

* Layout bugs MUST be tested against a system WITHOUT hardware
acceleration. Go to Help, Troubleshooting Information to see if your test
system is accelerated. If your test system IS accelerated, you must make
sure it is OFF, OR test on ANOTHER system that isn't. If this is NOT a
layout or display bug, you can skip this step.

Not a layout problem.

* This is a startup crash or failure to start (Y/N):

NO

* This is a fault of JavaScript acceleration (Y/N): 

NO

* What steps are necessary to reproduce the bug? These must be reasonably
reliable.

Install 10.4. Fox 24.0.6. on a 10.4.11 Server an try to print a page - as 
simple as that.

* Describe your processor, computer, operating system and any special
things about your environment.

Three Systems tested with the crash:
- Early G5, 1.8MHz single CPU, MacOS X Server 10.4.11 (8S2159), G5 Build of 
10.4Fx.
- Middle Aged G5, 2x2GHz dual CPU, MacOS X Server 10.4.11 (8S2159), G5 Build of 
10.4Fx.
- MacMini G4, 1.5GHz single CPU, MacOS X Server 10.4.11 (8S2159) 7450 Build of 
10.4Fx.

* If this is a startup crash or failure to start, have you tried restarting
with a clean profile or in safe mode? Does this fix the problem?

N/A

* For crashes or startup failure (optional): paste in any information from
Crash Reporter, or if you are able to run 10.4Fx in gdb, paste in the
backtrace. You can often do it like this from within Terminal.app:

Crash reporter backtrace attached.

* Include any useful additional information, steps you have tried, etc.:

Thanks for your help!

You are welcome, thanks for that nice developer effort with PPC. Still using 
several 10.4. Systems for full production in an entire family (due to 
Framemaker Use in Classic).
