Firefox crashes on www.loubega.com

[kko]

Binary package hint: firefox

More specifically, by going to:
http://www.loubega.com/en/content.html
and clicking skip intro.

Result: You get a few seconds of loading (as indicated on the screen), and when that's done, bam, you're back on the desktop. Crashed repeatedly on me - one time the crash wasn't this immediate, but only occurred a few seconds later.

Firefox v. 1.5.0.9 on Kubuntu Dapper.

Hello kko,

Thank you for the bug report, which version of flash player do you have installed? If it's 7 can you please try updating to the Flash 9 plugin instead..

Download the source version and extract it and read the instructions inside for more details.

Thanks again, Alex.

Thank you for looking into this. To be completely honest, I don't recall when I installed flash, but I probably did it through the browser that time.

Previously, FF's "about:plugins" showed me this:
Shockwave Flash 7.0 r68

After I do "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" from multiverse, I have this in addition:
Shockwave Flash 9.0 d78

The site does not crash Firefox anymore.

(Just a FYI, in case it makes a difference: Opera 9.10 did not crash on the afore-mentioned site with the older Flash player, and neither does it with the new one.)

Oops, I'll take back what I said. I went back and tried the site one more time, just to be sure. Still crashes Firefox, and now did it repeatedly.

I will investigate further with the package you indicated, and removing the old one.

Alright, with the package you indicated, showing "Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31", I am currently unable to reproduce the crash. (Doesn't crash in Opera either.) Thank you again for looking into this.

This was a problem with Flash plugin, I will mark it as such.
