When i try to use the spellcheck that is included in the TinyMCE editor with FireFox? it doesn't work correctly. All browser windows that i have opened just closes and ask me to send an error report to microsoft.
It works just fine in Internet Explorer.

This appears to be a mix of Googiespell and Google as my install that uses a local NOX spell server works fine, but one using Google as the source gives an AJAX error.
Neither one of these crashed my Firefox session.

Meant to put this in that last post... The actual text of the AJAX error I see is:
The page at <my RC URL> says:
"Could not execute AJAX call, server didn't return valid a XML."
(sic)

See also #1484057 (Appears to be the same issue...)

I was wrong about that AJAX call error being related to the browser crashing. I did some more research into why one of my setups crashes and the other doesn't, and it turns out that there is a lot more to this.
There are at least three separate issues.
- This issue with the browser crashing
- The issue with the AJAX error (Which is a server config problem, CURL PHP module is required but missing)
- TinyMCE's spell checker plugin does not respect the spellcheck_uri setting in main.inc.php (See ticket #1484196)
Also, I have managed to get my system that I thought was working reliably to crash Firefox during the spell check, but not in a reproducible manner.

On a new FireFox? installation (2.0.0.8) on a new XP installation I can reproduce this crash every time. The error says it exists in JS3250.dll. Running the tinymce full demo off of the tinymce website does _not_ crash the browser; just doing so through roundcube. FF1.5.0.12 is not affected. Nothing is reported in roundcube logs.

Correction: 1.5.0.12 on Linux is not affected - 1.2.0.12 on XP also crashes.

Old. We have tinyMCE 3.0 in trunk now, so check it and reopen if bug still exists.

I was able to duplicate this on the latest SVN as of writing. It completely crashes firefox. Not sure this is a Roundcube issue though.
