I was going into Meteo.fr and FF crashed. I am on Hardy 8.04 will all the latest updates as of 5.12pm 14th April.

Same problem. Firefox just crashed for some unknown reason...

Why is this bug report labeled as "invalid"?

Cheers

Mariano

I just upgraded my Gutsy to Hardy.
I Was visiting www.esa.int ant apparently a flashmovie did cause the crash.
I am too wondering, why this bug is marked invalid. At least for me it is valid.

This is a good temporary fix on the forums.

However it is staying "In Progress" as I have found with different updates it can go a bit dodgy sometimes.

In you tube, played one flash video, selected the next and the screen froze.

Firefox 3 is often crashing for me on pages that use flash.

Happened to me too. Visited two flash sites with flashblock & ABP active.
