Bug Description

Binary package hint: gecko-mediaplayer

gecko-mediaplayer crashes the whole Firefox in it's gecko-mediaplayer-wmp.so Windows Media Player module, for example when going to this site:
http://www.polskieradio.pl/9,Trojka
Disabling it in plugins tab of Tools->Add-ons, other gecko-mediaplayer plugins seems fine so far.

I discovered this issue when I used Flashblock, disabling Flashblock surprisingly helps so I thought it's their bug but it seems the other way. Almost all of my Mozilla crash records on this site look like this one:

I tried to add two watches but I couldn't do it for the same package. I chose MPlayer but now I can't change it to gecko-mediaplayer.

Why it's not possible to add two upstream watches?

This bug was fixed in the package gecko-mediaplayer - 1.0.0-0ubuntu1

---------------
gecko-mediaplayer (1.0.0-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  [ Cesare Tirabassi ]
  * Update dependencies list (xulrunner, midbrowser and firefox-3.5)
  * Add konqueror, opera and chromium in long description
  * Removed all symlinks, lookup is now implemented upstream by all
    compatible packages (Closes: #581807).
    This may (and likely will) break backports.
  * Updated watch file in line with new google code standard
    (thanks D. Leidert)

  [ Julien Lavergne ]
  * New upstream release (LP: #693867)
   - Fix crash when loading iTunes store (LP: #569682)
  * debian/rules:
   - Build without gconf support, which should fix the hang with chromium
    (LP: #545209).
  * debian/patches/90_svn420_fix_null.patch:
   - From upstream, fix NULL pointer errors (LP: #709277)
  * debian/patches/91_svn421_disable_npp_initialize.patch:
   - From upstream, fix FTBFS with new xulrunner.
  * debian/control:
   - Drop build-depends on quilt, handle by format 3.0.
  * debian/patches/01_xulrunner-20.patch:
   - Drop, replace by upstream patch 91_svn421_disable_npp_initialize.patch.

Can we expect a backport to Lucid? It was there where this bug was reported from.

Maybe if the 90_svn420_fix_null.patch patch apply on the gecko-mediaplayer version on Lucid and Maverick, and if someone follow the SRU process : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
