Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
This problem has appeared recently though I cannot guess what might have triggered it. I have been running Karmic since it's release and did not encounter this problem with any of the previous incarnations on the same machine. Briefly:
1. Loading YouTube or any other flash based video causes a crash. This has happened both while the video was playing (i.e. at some random point within the clip) and as soon as play is hit on a video. Now it happens as soon as you hit play.
2. I have re-installed flash and also deleted my firefox profile. The second 'fix' worked for a little while but the problem quickly re-appeared.
Do let me know if you need anymore information. All apps are up-to-date as is the system.
Moving to Firefox 3.5 for Triage.
