firefox crashes with SIGSEGV when trying to watch a flash video

[Martin Heitzer]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox 3.0 beta crashes reproducably when I try to watch any flash video, e.g. on Youtube.
This seems to be a beta 3 issue, as I have Swiftweasel 3.0 beta 2 installed as a second browser - which uses exactly the same add-ons and plugins and doesn't have this problems.

Hi,

unfortunately your crash report didn't yield the required information. This can eventually happen. Please go ahead and submit new crash reports in future.

Thanks for your contribution,

Still present in firefox-3.0 3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4. I've attached a new crash dump, hope it helps this time.

Hi,

please submit the crash report by (double) clicking on it (e.g. using gnome file manager). Otherwise, we won't be able to process it efficiently. The .crash files can be found in the /var/crash directory.

Thanks,
 - Alexander

modus If you run locate libflashsupport.so it should come up with one maybe 2 places try to reproduce it after moving it somewhere else. Please move only the file name i said as there are 2 that look alike so please be careful. If you can no longer reproduce this or if you can please let me know so i can help accordingly.

I ran locate libflashsupport.so and it didn't find anything.
