mozilla plugin crashes firefox

[Denis Rut'kov]

Firefox main window blinks for a second and then disappears. It only outputs one word "Aborted"

Unfortunately, no additional info could be provided.

Update: firefox crashes when opening a web page

www.phoronix.com:
!! kontera layer --> version: msn 10/06/2009
Segmentation fault

www.yandex.ru:
Aborted

www.youtube.com:
Segmentation fault

[sledgehammer999 (sledgehammer-999)]

"www.youtube.com:
Segmentation fault"

That's exactly what I get when I try to watch a video on youtube. The browser closes abruptly and the only message on the terminal is "segmentation fault".

I am using Lucid 64bit. My card is a x1800xl using the "radeon" open source driver.

For me i have the same issue. but when opening youtube

here is my system

System: HP EliteBook 8530w
Video: Nvidia Quadro FX 770M
Video Driver: Binary Nvidia Blob
Linux Version: 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64
Distro: Fedora 12
Browser: Firefox 3.5.9 (X86_64)
Plugin version: mozilla-plugin-lightspark-0.3.1-1.x86_64
Installed by: alien -r mozilla-plugin-lightspark_0.3.1-ubuntu3_amd64.deb ; yum localinstall mozilla-plugin-lightspark-0.3.1-1.x86_64.rpm --nogpgcheck; ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/liblightsparkplugin.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/liblightsparkplugin.so

[user@laptop plugins]$ firefox
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'lightspark::RunTimeException'
  what(): Lightspark error
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.5/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 30529 Aborted (core dumped) "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
[user@laptop plugins]$

i will test building the plugin from source to see if that helps the crashing issues

I have a backtrace from the plugin from ArchLinux (32 bit, but I think 64 bit produces pretty much the same backtrace)

FF 3.6.3, Ubuntu 10.04, Nvidia driver 195.36.24
graphic card: Nvidia geforce 8200m g

How I can do a backtrace?

[Zak Peirce (plastikman)]

same way Harley did

gdb firefox

once inside of GDB type "run"

since you are on a binary distro you will have to install debug packages.

the new version 0.3.2 output when trying to view a vid from youtube:

[Alessandro Pignotti (a-pignotti)]

I'm trying to tackle the issues reported here. As these could be related to several different bugs It would be better to open different reports for each not working site (a bug for youtube, one for www.phoronix.com and so on). Moreover the crashes on the youtube homepage may be related to localized advertising. In such case please try to build a list of loaded SWFs.

Please do all testing using version 0.3.3 on the PPA, as I've enabled some debug output to gather information more easily.

[Alessandro Pignotti (a-pignotti)]

There is a new release, please test again and open bugs for each crashing site.

I've been surfing www.phoronix.com for a while and I've hit no crashes, give it a try.

[Denis Rut'kov (dendron2000)]

phoronix.com and yotube.com no longer crash firefox with lightspark (although flash objects are not played).

yandex.ru - still crashes from time to time, because it displays different flash banner each time the page is opened (some of these banners cause lightspark to crash, some don't).

[Alessandro Pignotti (a-pignotti)]

Version 0.4.0 RC1 release today includes a lot of robustness improvements, please try it and report any crash.

[Denis Rut'kov (dendron2000)]

New version no longer crashes with yandex.ru. Nice work!
