Bug Description

When testing firefox 14.0~b9+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn1, I found that the totem plugin crashes when attempting to play an ogv. I did not experience this crash when testing ff 14.0 on Natty.

The only way I've been able to trigger the crash is running test-browser.py from qa-regression-testing:

$ ./test-browser.py -vt plugins
test_version (testlib_browser.TestVersion)
Show installed browser version ... ok
test_avi (testlib_browser.TestPlugins)
Test AVI ...
 dpkg -l | grep firefox
  firefox: 14.0~b9+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn1
  firefox-globalmenu: 14.0~b9+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn1
  firefox-gnome-support: 14.0~b9+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn1
  firefox-locale-en: 14.0~b9+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn1

 firefox --version:

This has been happening since at least version 12 and probably at release as well.

Note that totem itself has no problem playing the ogv. The file can be found here:

Thanks Tyler, does that issue happen with firefox 13? If that's an issue in totem it seems not likely a regression. Is there any way you could get stacktrace of the bug?

Sebastien, the issue does happen with firefox 13. Also not that Micah mentioned it has been happening at least since firefox 12 in comment #1.

As for the stack trace, is the trace at the bottom of the Mozilla crash report not sufficient? I've submitted a new crash report based off of firefox 14.0.1:

Tyler,

Are you able to submit a crash report again on an up-to-date system? I added Totem to the list of packages that we submit symbols to Mozilla for a few weeks ago, so newer traces should be a bit better
