Bug Description
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
i know theres a few of these bugs. but ill let somebody else decide if this is a dup since im not quite sure.
ive spent the last hour trying to make this bug reproducible but its damn difficult. i can get youtube to crash maybe every 5 times or so. what i do is i go to a video and watch it. then some time during its playing ill hit the back or home button. this will make firefox unresponsive and ill have to force quit it. i use beryl but otherwise no extensions or anything in firefox.
of course i use flashplugin-nonfree and im all updated as of today.
i started firefox from the terminal and managed to make it freeze. the result was this:
jens@bigboy:~$ firefox

This happens to me constantly (about 1 out of every 5-10 videos I watch), and it seems like it only happens with flash videos from youtube and its ilk as I've don't think I've had it happen with normal flash "decorations" on pages. It seems to happen when a video is open and you either leave the page by any means (ie: closing the tab it is in, following a link on the page, navigating to a bookmark, etc). I don't get any ouput at all from firefox when running it from a console, it just starts quitely and hang quitely when this happens. I'm not overly familiar with GDB so I'm not too sure what I could add here.
