switch hulu video to fullscreen mode terminates firefox

[bravebearman]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Playing any video in full screen mode on hulu.com causes firefox to crash

I attempted to strace the failure but firefox enters stopped state (system monitor) before completing initialization.

I think he's using flashplugin-nonfree since his plugins.dat.txt says Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48

no answer from reporter. cant do much about nonfree flash crashes anyway.
