Firefox segfaults when video Flash player goes full screen

[Ken]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

When I play a video on Flash, for example a YouTube video, and click on full screen, Firefox segfaults. This is kind of an intermittent problem, but at the moment I'm able to repeat it on any youtube video. Here's the bottom of strace:

Segmentation fault
[{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 139}], 0, NULL) = 27945
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
exit_group(139) = ?
flashplugin-nonfree

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04, firefox 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 with flashplugin-nonfree. What other information can I provide to help?

[madbiologist (me-again)]

The Firefox people would be very interested if you could try the Lorentz beta at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/lorentz/

If you get the crash under Lorentz they would be very interested in having you report the crash.

Disabling hardware acceleration, by right clicking a flash video and selecting settings, solves the problem.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

Can you please attach the output of lspci -vvnn and tell us what driver you are using?

Does this still happen with the new Flash Player 10.1?

Fabio - what version of Firefox are you using?

[Jami Pekkanen (jami-pekkanen)]

I can confirm this. Affects every browser I've tried it on (Firefox, Chromium, Epiphany). Disabling hardware acceleration works as a workaround.

[Jami Pekkanen (jami-pekkanen)]

Also, switching from noveau to nvidia binary blob seems to fix this.

Then confirming this bug.

[Thomas Hotz (thotz-deactivatedaccount)]

Do you still have this bug with newer flashplugin versions?
