[Bug 192888] Re: firefox crashes on flash contents

[Alexander Sack]

Zeus, what can't you confirm?

** 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 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?
