Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After watching a few videos (Adobe Flash movie) on Youtube, Firefox 3.0.10 running under Ubuntu 9.04 freezes completely - except for the sound in the video which continues to be played back. This has happened multiple times. I'm using the swfdec-mozilla package version 0.8.2-1ubuntu1.

Kernel version: 2.6.28-11-generic

The attached file contains the terminal ouput from Firefox (I launched it froma terminal) before it crashed.

Hi, Peter. Thanks for the bug report and for helping improve Ubuntu. I cannot reproduce this behavior with the Adobe Flash plugin, so I suspect it has more to do with swfdec (or swfdec-mozilla) than Firefox. Accordingly, I have moved your bug report to the swfdec-mozilla package.

Regards,

Kurt
