Thank you for reporting this crash.

I've tried the same page and I can view the clip w/o problems. What plugins do you have installed?

Duplicate of Bug #85382:
MASTER firefox crashed - colorzilla - [@nsNativeComponentLoader::AutoRegisterComponent]

[jav_y (jav-y)]

I tried again..., same crash. Maybe is the plugin
fault..,I'm using VLC and TOTEM mozilla plugins.

Thank you for your responses!

This bug is not a dup of bug #85382 (marked before by error) sorry

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

Your crash report did not contain not enough information to process your crash. This is not your fault, but can happen. If you ever capture a new crash, please file a new bug. Probably we will have more luck with that one.

For your crash: maybe try to use totem-mozilla or mozilla-mplayer for playing videos instead of vlc.

Thanks for your contribution,

Alexander

a sorry ... didn't see that this has a valid testcase. moving to evaluation.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

looks like a vlc bug, mplayer and totem don't crash

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

vlc issue; reassigning accordingly.

[jav_y (jav-y)]

Thank's to you Alexander... , maybe is just a VLC bug
as you said. I'll change to totem and i'll give a try!

Thank you.

This looks like a race condition in gettext that should be fixed by upgrading to glibc 2.7. This is not a VLC bug.

Make sure your locale is set to C if this is a problemm.
