Thank you Gabriel de Perthuis for submitting this report.

Could you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions
on [1], or upload the crash report that probably was generated during
the crash and that should be located at /var/crash/ to [2].

This crash seems to be related with your plugin libswfdecmozilla.so
(Shockwave Flash).

Please if this crash is reproducible describe the steps that lead to it
(it is very important for us to have a test case for each crash).

This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

Thanks in advance.

I was unable to use the apport core-dump as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs#head-523978f1f3009b1b57ef020d5e3ff8674e737f41 , I in fact got this:

gdb -nx /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -core $TMPDIR/CoreDump -ex 'backtrace full' -ex 'thread apply all backtrace full' -ex 'quit' 2>&1 | tee gdb.log

I'm not sure I'll be able to reproduce it.

[Hilario J. Montoliu (hjmf) (hmontoliu)]

Is this still an issue for you? We are trying to sort this issue and would like to know if this still happens.

If it can be reproduced, please describe the steps to do it.

Thanks in advance.

[Gabriel de Perthuis (g2p)]

It didn't happen again, probably because I have installed the flash plugin where I used to have just totem's plugin (that's what the attachment says, I don't really remember).

I'll try again as soon as I remove flashplugin-nonfree and restart firefox.

[Gabriel de Perthuis (g2p)]

Not the same bug, but it didn't take long to crash something: #153516 .

Feel free to close this.
