[Bug 193982] Re: Firefox crashes while loading a webpage

[TerryG]

Thanks for your testing and output.  Triaged to Confirmed.  Certainly
looks like a segmentation fault caused by flash plugin.  Did you notice
if you were out of RAM at the time of crash and filling up swap space
(near your 1 GB limit)?  I've had frequent crashes from the site
cocgospel.com using flashchat and listening to the stream at the same
time.  The crash corresponds precisely at the point I run out of swap.
Memory use increases linearly with time until crash.  And this is
repeatable.  My workaround is to use XMMS to listen to the music stream,
and use the pop-up version of Flashchat which seems to eliminate the
memory leak.

Can you provide a website where this crash occurs consistently?  That
would help.

When firefox hangs, you can use:

>sudo killall firefox-bin

to exit and regain your desktop.
