firexfox shuts down when opening divx player

[malyvia]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hi,

Here's my problem: everytime I try to open a page with a divx player on it, firefox 3.0 shuts down automaticly. I installed the lastest version of divx but that didn't fix the probem. Hope you can help me... Thanks in advance.

Do you have the latest Firefox? I'm on 3.0.7 now, I don't know what release of Ubuntu your on?

I was researching and trying to find where firefox puts their error log, but I couldn't find any such thing...

Perhaps you can open a terminal and run the command "firefox" to open a firefox session, and then reproduce the situation to make it crash by going to a site with divx. Then when it crashes tell us if there is anything like an error message printed into the terminal.

And, such as the previous person said, make sure you have all of the codecs installed
