firefox crashes if swfdec-mozilla installed. Btw, youtube doesnt work anyway

[LimCore]

I installed flash, after that, all sites (not just flash ones) crash epically after few seconds each time.

ii swfdec-mozilla 0.8.0-0ubuntu1

With this - flash crashes often.

Also, anyway flash does not really work (in example on youtube):

If I run firefox -g, then it segfaults, but then starts up anyway, and then crashes after few seconds.
Like this:
rafal@aclc:~$ firefox -g

and here firefox anyway runs, but then crashes after few seconds in an epic way.

Also, synaptic can not instal -dbgsym for this firefox (side note: so this bug wins the Bug² award, yey)
(ok there was some instruction with version= something or somethin something on bug hunting wiki, but its totally not user friendly, I think most people taking time to donte a bug report do not like to spend more of it then needed)

ubuntu 8.10 amd64
ii firefox 3.0.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.

(ps.: bug³ - dpkg -l makes it harder to report damn version.
Why make 1 developer take 5 minutes to change default column length to 200, when we can instead make 10000 bug repoters each loose 5 minutes to re-google wheel? that is the spirit, lets make life harder)

The symptoms went away after reversing installation of gnash/swfdec, that is:

Completely removed the following packages:
gnash
gnash-common
libswfdec-0.8-0
swfdec-gnome
swfdec-mozilla

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

changed firefox to firefox-3.0 since that is the package it happens on.

I would say its rather swfdec than gnash as that is known to eat more resources / CPU cycles.

[Sergio Ventura (sergioventura)]

First I have installed install_flash_player_10_linux.deb and unistalled flashplugin-nonfree but I didn't resolved the problem and the version of flash plugin on Firefox was the same (9.....). Then I have unistalled swfdec and the version of plugin changed to 10.... and now videos are OK.
I think that there is a conflict between swfdec plugin and adobe flash player plugin.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

The swfdec-mozilla package ruins the flashplugin-nonfree player even if it is disabled in Firefox (and does not show up in about:plugins). I have to completely uninstall it before the Adobe player can work.
