Firefox/flash hang with: NPP_Destroy() wait for reply: Message timeout

[Dave Gilbert]

Binary package hint: nspluginwrapper

nspluginwrapper: 1.2.2-0ubuntu2
firefox-3.0: 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu2
Flash: Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22

(64bit)
In jaunty I'm seeing firefox hang for 10s of seconds with no redraw and no GUI interaction at all, this time when it happened I had a tail -f on .xsession-errors and found these:

*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_Destroy() wait for reply: Message timeout
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPObject 0xeeacbb0 is no longer valid!

The hang was just after closing a tab with flash video in it (which may itself have been hung on audio?)

Same issue there :
- Flash always hangs after 10 seconds.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

does this only happen with nspluginwrapper? Maybe you can reproduce that with native flash install as well?

[Dave Gilbert (ubuntu-treblig)]

I'd like to distinguish the behavior Julien reports from my original report.
The error I see only happens some of the time - most of the time Flash plays videos fine
and doesn't hang; however on Jaunty I'm seeing these occasional hangs where Firefox itself
hangs (no response to the tabs for example) for prolonged periods of time - and the error
I reported was captured during one of those hangs. If Julien is seeing a Flash hang after 10
seconds that's separate.

(This is with nspluginwrapper - I tend to find it's a trade off; flash dies under nspluginwrapper from
time to time and doesn't come back until I restart Firefox, but Flash normally doesn't kill firefox
when run via nspluginwrapper which sometimes happens if I run it natively - I'm on 64bit)
