Firefox videoscreen freezes on site www.vrt.be (de redactie)

[[e-mail]]

Binary package hint: yelp

As far as I can see in the automated bug-report, "yelp" is stalling in Firefox 3.0.10 when looking at video on quoted site.
I am using Ubuntu 9.04

Thank you for investigating.
Alain Derycke

Thank you Jim Alain for your report

Is this behavior always reproducible? If so, please can you detail a step by step test case including links to the page that eventually causes the problem?

Also please indicate which plugins do you have enabled.

Finally try to reproduce the problem after starting firefox with "-safe-mode" parameter.

Thank you in advance

Dear Sirs,

This behavior is regrettably not always reproducible. The main problem
is also that the video's of the site are only accessible by the two
"big" providers in Belgium. Outside Belgium, you cannot watch the
video's of the site "www.vrt.be - de redactie" (this is the site of the
flamish state owned television channel).
The only installed plug-in is "Ad-Block-Plus with the easy+fr list.

In the following days, I'll try to reproduce after starting firefox in
"safe-mode" as suggested.

Thank you for your efforts,

Yours faithfully,

Alain Derycke

I've tried this video
http://www.deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws/mediatheek/1.238640 which is a
weather forecast and it worked fine.

Dear Sirs,

I am happy you could watch the video outside Belgium; as far as I knew,
it was restricted due to copyright issues.

I use Shockwave Flash 10.0.r22

As suggested, I ran the site on Firefox in safe mode and everything runs
smooth.

Sorry for any possible inconvenience, but at the time, it seemed like a
bug for me and the automated bug report acted subsequently.

Thank you for your efforts,

Alain Derycke

Then seems that the problem is gone. Closing this report
