Bug Description
Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
Epiphany Browser crashed when trying to watch a Flash movie (imbedded youtube). Not always reproductible.
This affects Firefox in the same way than epiphany-gecko with flashplugin-
It may crash on the very first one. It may crash on the 5th. On the 10th. But it will crash, sometime. I have not tried, but maybe opening multiple youtube pages in tabs at once could make it crash faster. Heck, even osnews.com makes the browser crash, and it happens so often that I disabled apport because it took me too much time to recover.
Epiphany+flash used to be very stable (as in: crash maybe once every 2-3 months?) in gutsy and previous releases, and now it crashes *every* day, on 25-50% of trials (trial = loading a web page containing flash content, be it youtube or something else). This is unacceptable, I had to remove flashplugin-nonfree to keep a crash-free experience for the moment being, but half of the web is crippled now (though I don't miss those ads ;).
Nothing to do with memory/swap usage.
