[Bug 337544] Re: Firefox crashes when using sites with heavy flash content

[amw3465]

** Description changed:

- Problem in ubuntu 9.04 (alpha 5) 64 bit version when using Firefox which
- often crashes on sites with heavy flash content, the same happens on
- ubuntu 8.10. Also sites with such flash content slow right down so much
- so that its hard to navigate. Problem seems to be with the flash non
- free player as using Opera on Ubuntu 8.10 gives similar results.
+ Problem in ubuntu 9.04 (alpha 5) 64 bit version when using Firefox
+ (3.06) which often crashes on sites with heavy flash content, the same
+ happens on ubuntu 8.10 (32 bit and 64 bit versions). I used the flash
+ non free player from the ubuntu restricted extras in the repositories.
+ The problem is bad with sites that have a lot of in-bedded you tube
+ clips resulting in slow downs making it difficult to navigate and the
+ clips dont display correctly nor play correctly yet the bb code is
+ correct. The You tube site clips plays fine. What also happens is once
+ you try to navigate on such sites firefox grays out and is unresponsive
+ (crash?). The same problem is replicated using Opera 9.63 on Ubuntu 8.10
+ though Opera doesnt grey out.
+ 
+ Update: I've just tried Ubuntu 8.04 (32 bit version) to try and identify
+ if it was the flash non free player being the problem or maybe either of
+ the releases (8.10 and 9.04). I discovered that the above problem wasn't
+ present in Ubuntu 8.04 using firefox (3.06) using version 10 of the
+ flash non free player (deb file from the Adobe site), sites rendered
+ fine and werent slow to navigate. However the problem is replicated on
+ Ubuntu 8.04 when I use Opera 9.63.
