I installed this, at the suggestion of the "search for plugins" dialog box I got when I tried to view some video on a website. Of course, I expected to be able to view the video (streaming video, by the way).

Instead, after the video started, I touched the volume control that is part of the video display pane, and my session crashed. The next thing I saw was the session login screen.
