Brian, Thank you for responding to my bug report. When I went to enter this information into the bug tracking database I did see where other people had reported similar problems relating to sites utilizing FLASH causing the various web browsers to crash. I am not particularly sure if their issues were exactly the same as mine but the general theme I saw was that FLASH is causing browsers to crash and other people are reporting on that also.
My personal experience with this issue is as I described. Essentially when viewing a website (like youtube) for more than a couple of videos firefox/galeon/konqueror are crashing hard. The process is failing to the point it requires kill -9 <pid> or via GUI, send SIGKILL to process to terminate. You cannot actively try to close the window and receive any response from the offending programs. I can recreate the bug at will (within reason, I cannot guarantee a crash on the first video but I can guarantee that any of the above mentioned browsers will crash within ~5 to ~10 minutes time when browsing flash activated sites. I initially thought this incident was isolated to my system, however I have re-installed kubuntu 7.04 from beta disc three seperate times since then (playing around with kubuntu different drive configs, mistakes due to user error (lack of experience, etc) .. and this bug has been recreatable during all the 3 clean installations. I have had other linux distributions installed previously (suse 10.2, fedora core 7 test, gentoo latest release installed from minimal install cd) .. I have not been able to recreate this issue with the aforementioned distributions. This leads me to believe it is something specific to Kubuntu. (I believe the newest KDE is being used in 7.04beta and that may be the culprit, but I am out of my element here as I am a convert from windows land (vista is a dealbreaker for me, I am adjusting to linux well now) .. The system I am using is as follows: Intel Core2DUO 4300 @ 1.8ghz (no overclocking *yet*) Patriot 6400 Extreme Performance 2 GB dual channel matched set currently timed at 4-4-4-12 and running @ 800mhz. NVIDIA 7900 GS 256 DDRIII Video Card (evga brand) Gigabyte DS3 core2duo motherboard revision 2.0 1 seagate 320gb perpendicular sata 3.0 gb/sec drive 2 hitachi deskstar 320gb sata 3.0 gb/sec drive (all are brand new) 1 20x Dual Layer DVD+-RW/RAM w/Lightscribe drive 1 16x Dual Layer DVD+-RW drive 22" Sun Microsystems branded Sony Trinitron 1985 Model IBM Model M keyboard (yes the clicky one) Currently using a Linksys 10/100 Lan card due to poor support for the Marvell Gigabit onboard lan Jmicron controller running the dvd drives (glad ubuntu updated the kernel to support this, this also caused a reinstall previously haha) what else.. I think that about covers my system. It is extremely stable otherwise and I do not believe it is the system causing the failure of the software because I did not experience this using ubuntu Edgy Eft or any of the other distributions I mentioned. I have not tried ubuntu 7.0x due to I prefer KDE interface at this point. I am not sure if this is re-creatable under the ubuntu gnome window manager. I am using the proprietary NVIDIA driver. version 9361 I believe (not the newest) I am using the non-free flash plug-in. This bug may be caused by one of the above driver/plug-in but again had no issue under other distros. I hope this information is of some help to you. Let me know if I can provide anything else for research purposes. I cannot generate a error report (to my knowledge, I am a nub with linux) due to having to kill-9 the processes etc. Advise how I can create an error report and I will do gladly. Thanks for your time and your interest. Thanks also for helping to provide a great linux distribution (I so far always go back to Kubuntu over all the others I have tried) addendum: errata; I originally stated in the subject that opera was crashing also using the plug-in. What I meant to say was opera just crashes period before it ever loads for whatever unexplained reason. I am not having any crashing with any other software on Kubuntu. Thanks!
