[Bug 212751] [NEW] Flash Stops Responding In 64-bit Firefox

[Jeremy LaCroix]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nspluginwrapper

I am using 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy with all updates. I am also using Firefox
with the shipped nsplugin and flashplugin-nonfree.

Ever since nspluginwrapper was updated, Flash in Firefox occasionally
stops responding, and I have to quit Firefox and reopen it. I can't find
a pattern why it happens (it happens on its own) but if I play a Youtube
video, and press F5 to refresh the page, Flash dies and I have to reopen
Firefox to be able to play a Flash video on every site.

Previously, I was using the package
"nspluginwrapper_0.9.91.5-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb" and I had no problems
whatsoever viewing Flash. With that package, Flash never stopped
responding like this. Ever since a newer version was installed via the
Update Manager, this bug started occuring.

Steps to reproduce:

1.) Install Flash + nspluginwrapper
2.) Go to Youtube.com and watch any video
3.) While the video is playing press F5 to reload the page.
4.) Flash dies.

This happens in other instances too but this is the only way I can
reproduce it every time. Youtube videos just turn into a white box and
Flash will not work on any page after it dies until I restart Firefox.
