[Bug 284600] Re: epiphany-gecko crashed with SIGSEGV

[Matteo Settenvini]

I'm not sure this bug is a flash one.

In Epiphany as of version 2.24.1, if you load a page with a flash movie,
and then change it to one without any flash, you can safely close that
tab/window and you won't get any crashes.

Since Firefox doesn't suffer from this, and a workaround exists
(switching to a page without flash before closing the tab), I'm inclined
to think that there's something wrong in the way epiphany deallocates
the window used for rendering things.

Maybe some dangling reference to an object referenced one time less than
needed, and thus already deallocated on tab close? I don't know the
flash plugin API exposed to Gecko browsers, but it may try to access the
some X window which has already be free'd. Maybe there's some method to
invoke to have flash uninitialize, or lease the window?
