firefox crashes when accessing myspace home page

[thebigbluecan]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When I go to Myspace.com then login.. When my page loads it will crash the browser and it will close. It could be from the Flash but I am not sure. Other pages load fine. Youtube works fine which runs flash so it possibly could be from java? It seemed to work fine earlier today right after installing 8.04.. But now it doesn't. Tested on two computers that I upgraded to 8.04 today and same results. I am using the Flash plugin non-free.

I found out more... It's Ad Block Plus plug-in that causes the problem. It happens on Two computers running 8.04. It's Definitely Ad Block Plus with FF 3.0b5

Can you please run apt-cache policy adblock-plus
And post the output to the bug.
Since i have it installed i will test this in a minute and report back

i am unable to reproduce this without addblock with adblock (no subscriptions) and with addblock and the EasyList USA subscription

[thebigbluecan (thebigbluecan)]

adblock-plus:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.7.5.4-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
     0.7.5.4-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages

I don't know why it says Installed (none)... I just reinstalled it. I am using the EasyList USA subscription.
And it killed the page again.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

the first one you installed was from ubuntu repos or from mozilla addons
site?

I installed it by going to Tools>Add-ons>Get Add-ons/ and Typed "Adblock " And installed it from there. Im uploading a Video on Youtube of what is going on here. Ill post it if you want.

I Typed Adblock in the "Search All Add-ons" box to the left of the buttons. I didnt click any other buttons.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

thebigbluecan, the reason it says uninstalled (none) is because you dont have the one from the repos installed. the one from repos works for me and we cant support packages that are not gotten from our repos. please install ours and try it

[thebigbluecan (thebigbluecan)]

Installed it from Repos and still the same problem :( ... Im getting used to the ads again lol.

:~$ apt-cache policy adblock-plus
adblock-plus:
  Installed: 0.7.5.4-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.7.5.4-0ubuntu1

Well I Got rid of Ubuntu 32bit and tried 64 bit... I think it runs alot better for some reason, and Adblock Plus works now! YAY! I still couldn't figure it out, and hopefully I was the only one having that problem.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

I am unable to reproduce this on Firefox-3 with our version os adblock-plus 0.7.5.4-0ubuntu1 on 32bit Hardy nor Intrepid. please reopen if you are still able to reproduce this bug on 32bit Hardy.

fwiw, if 64 bit is better this is most likely a fall-out of general
flash instabilities we see. Flash is technically better guarded on
64-bit.
