[Bug 196588] Re: firefox, epiphany-gecko crash on flash content in hardy

[Jean-François Fortin Tam]

** Summary changed:

- epiphany-gecko crashed with SIGSEGV in memcpy()
+ firefox, epiphany-gecko crash on flash content in hardy

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
  
  Epiphany Browser crashed when trying to watch a Flash movie (imbedded youtube).
- Not always reproductible.
+ Not always reproductible. I am using epiphany-gecko with flashplugin-nonfree, and it is very easy to reproduce. Just watch random youtube videos until it crashes. I recommend searching for funny cats videos. You don't have to watch entire youtube videos. Just watching the first few seconds will determine if it's going to crash or not. So, go to youtube, and play 10 seconds of video, go to the next video, play 10 secs, etc.
+ 
+ It may crash on the very first one. It may crash on the 5th. On the
+ 10th. But it will crash, sometime. I have not tried, but maybe opening
+ multiple youtube pages in tabs at once could make it crash faster. Heck,
+ even osnews.com makes the browser crash, and it happens so often that I
+ disabled apport because it took me too much time to recover.
+ 
+ Epiphany+flash used to be very stable (as in: crash maybe once every 2-3
+ months?) in gutsy and previous releases, and now it crashes *every* day,
+ on 25-50% of trials (trial = loading a web page containing flash
+ content, be it youtube or something else). This is unacceptable, I had
+ to remove flashplugin-nonfree to keep a crash-free experience for the
+ moment being, but half of the web is crippled now (though I don't miss
+ those ads ;).
+ 
+ Nothing to do with memory/swap usage.
