[Bug 209634] Re: firefox + flash video: crash playing second movie

[knarf]

The required information is a valid stack trace. This is impossible to
get from the nonfree flash plugin as it does not contain symbols (it has
been stripped) and the source is not available.

Your crashes/hangs seem to be different from the ones I describe in this
bug report so you probably are plagued by another bug. The crashes I
describe occur when starting a new video after one (or more) has already
been played. I do not see crashes/hangs when leaving video pages.

If only Adobe's license would allow it these problems could be solved by
writing a complete free flash player... but the license explicitly
forbids this:

http://www.adobe.com/licensing/developer/fileformat/faq/#item-1-8

"...Can I use the File Format Specification to create a SWF interpreter or player?
     No, the File Format Specification is provided for the specific purpose of enabling software applications to export to the SWF file format..."

One proprietary format to bring them in and in the crashes bind them...
