[Bug 215433] [NEW] flash plugin freezes 64-bit firefox

[Robert Persson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

This bug in hardy has emerged in the last day or two because prior to
that flashfunctionality had disappeared completely from the 64-bit
firefox 3 beta 5 for a few days.

When I go to a youtube page I will have about 5 minutes tops before
firefox freezes. The freeze often happens after the movie has stopped
playing.

Something else strange also happened since flash returned: I tried to
play an embedded youtube movie on a page and found that it stalled after
the first couple of frames. Same happened for another movie. Another
movie played at a complete crawl – around 1 or 2 fps with no sound.
Tried opening the movie in Totem – same thing. Same for gmplayer. Tried
opening a non-flash movie in these players; same thing. Tried opening
the non-flash movie in vlc and this time it played at normal speed, but
with no sound. Not sure if this is part of the same problem or not.

I shall post again if I manage to repeat the movie slowdown thing. I
won't try yet because I don't want firefox to freeze on me until I've
finished this report.
