** Summary changed: - firefox crashes on flash contents + firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport
** Description changed: Testcase: use pulseaudio and libflashsupport together with flashplugin-nonfree in firefox. 1. navigate to youtube video 2. wait till sound plays 3. hit back button 4. hit forward 5. goto 2 if not yet crashed. the crash sometimes happens after 2 iterations ... and i can't remember that i ever made 10 :) ... ================= Tested on two machines both with gutsy and hardy (on 32 bit x86): flash content very often crashes firefox (both of firefox-3.0 in hardy and older versions). I've just tried with other browsers, epiphany-browser crashes as well, and even konqueror from KDE (though it's not crashing at a whole, since it may run flash and other plugins as another user or something similar - I think at least - but it reports the crash of flash). I don't know exactly the package I should report this against, but as far as I can remember this issue presents since I started to play with pulseaudio: there is a wrapper lib to allow flash to play sound via PA right, so it CAN BE caused by this single issue instead of problem of the browser or the flash plugin itself? + + ================= + Workaround for early Hardy adopters: + + Manually uninstall the libflashsupport via 'apt-get remove + libflashsupport' or synaptic. This is necessary because libflashsupport + would not automatically be removed by update-manager when it was changed + from a dependent package to a recommended package during the Hardy + development cycle. -- firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
