[Bug 260587] Re: firefox crashed with SIGSEGV

[David Bensimon]

I can confirm this bug as well when viewing videos on CNN. I can see the
advertisement but then firefox suddenly quits when flash forwards the
user to the next video in queue. Haven't got it to crash on Youtube yet
it's mostly sites with advanced flash video functionalities (like
switching to another video). Youtube, which is just exposing an flv
file, works fine. But I find this bug has to do with any page that shows
you an ad before the video or perhaps uses some kind of video protection
mechanism may be what is making the browser/flash crash.

Steps to reproduce my testing
Tried package flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.124.0ubuntu2
Purged flashplugin-nonfree
Removed .mozilla and reopened firefox to create a new profile
Closed firefox and installed flashplayer10__091508 ( http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_install_linux_091508.tar.gz )

I have tested Adobe Flash 9.0 r124 and 10.0 r12 on my machine and keep
getting the crash. Some colleagues tried it on theirs and they were able
to see both the ad and the videos on cnn.com without a crash. Please let
me know if there is anything else I can do to contribute to this report.
