Firefox 2.0.0.2 Error: too much recursion

Daniel Guettler

I'm getting lots of "Error: too much recursion" in my Firefox Error
Console

I have created these little files to test it. It justs opens a new
window and closes it again. I see plenty of errors showing up in the
Error Console

The main file:
<html>
<body>
<a href="#"
onclick="window.open('popup.html','test_window','t oolbar=0,menubar=1,location=0,scrollbars=1');">tes t</
a>
</body>
</html>

and the popup file
<a href="#" onclick="self.close();">close</a>

I kept the files as simple as possible to track down the error hope it
isn't to simple.

Thanks, Daniel

Either it is too simple or something else is going on as I can not
reproduce it using FF 2.0.0.2 on WinXP.

I had something like that yestersay too (under MacOS X) :

"too much recursion"

BUT surprisingly this morning with the same page :

<http://91.57.96.20/DHTML/fixed_layout.xhtml?color=brown>

i do not have any more this error message...

i've remarked sometime FF2.0.0.2 duplicates tabs, for example, today i
have 11 tabs opened (saved by Prefs Current pages).

but yesterday i had n times those 11 tabs opened )))

as far as i remember well n was about 4 !!!

and also, again under MacOS X, ff2.0.0.2 complains about internal
javascript being in error...

The OP's headers indicate MacOS X as well so it may be something unique
to the FF and OS X as I still can't duplicate it on a PC.

"too much recursion"

That indicates, again, that it is something going on with FF2/OS X and
not the code.

I couldn't load the linked page (404) to compare, but did you try to
compare the behavior with name for popup and w/o it? (2nd argument in
window.open method). Gecko engine retains the original recursion limit
from JavaScript 1.0: no more than 1000 recursions per context
http://groups.google.com/group/mozil...934d626c75f7d3

I don't know exactly how window.open might cause exceeding this limit,
but one of speculations could be an OS-specific gc failure with
references in window.frames collection. Just a guess.
