Firefox 3.0.9 crahes when viewing source - bug 489322

Hi all,

Something really nasty happened with Firefox 3.0.9. Only with this version, HTML validator crashes when viewing the source of a page that contains errors.
This is due to a bug in the DOM API of Firefox, where I have no immediate control.
And some lines of code that were working since Firefox 1.0 are now crashing Firefox.

It is Firefox bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489322

Solution
--------
1) upgrade to HTML validator 0.856 that disable simply the Highlighting of lines.
2) go to HTML Validator options, and uncheck the option "Highlight lines with errors."

Since I am flood by email, I will need to release a version without this feature. Sorry for this.

Marc

3.0.10 is already out (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0.10/)
I did a quick check with 0.8.55 and "highlight lines with errors" enabled and no more crashes!
Guess you can put the function back in Smile
