Are you using firefox from the Fedora package or the upstream binary?

I used what ever was on the DVD when I first loaded the OS just after fc 8 was
released. The nice thing is I researched as much as I can and kept trying things
to fix it. The one thing that worked, twice, is rpm removing firefox and then
loading it through yum. The first time I did this it worked like a champ. Then a
few weeks back while doing a software update the problem stated happening again,
I don't remember what was on the list of updates. I rpm -e --nodeps firefox
again and yum installed firefox and it has been working ever since, not even a
single crash. Between cnn & youtube - I watch at least 10 - 20 vids per day,
weekends a lot more, and lately it has not skipped a beat. I never had any issue
with previous versions of FC, and I usually load my linux box fresh within a
week or two of a new release...fc 8 was the first I have ever had this issue...

Hope it helps..

OK, so if I understand correctly, it is not problem now, right? I will put this
bug into NEEDINFO and unless you will tell me in 30 days, what the problem and
how to reproduce it, I will close this bug.

If you see that it is the problem, please, provide at least output of the command
rpm -qa firefox libflashfupport swfdec\* flash-plugin gstreamer-plugins\*
pulseaudio\*

(you will quite possibly not have some of these packages installed -- you have
either swfdec or flash-plugin, so don't worry if some of these packages won't be
found).

Correct, it is not a problem now, but it has returned once before during a
software update. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to what the updates are. I
ran your command now while everything is working correctly:
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.8-5.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-pulse-0.9.5-0.4.svn20070924.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.6-7.fc8
pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.8-5.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.15-1.fc8
pulseaudio-0.9.8-5.fc8
pulseaudio-esound-compat-0.9.8-5.fc8
pulseaudio-utils-0.9.8-5.fc8
firefox-2.0.0.10-3.fc8
flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release
pulseaudio-libs-0.9.8-5.fc8
pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.8-5.fc8
pulseaudio-core-libs-0.9.8-5.fc8

If it flips out again I will run the command again..

Closing this as NOTABUG (anymore), and please reopen if the issues arises again
(with additional information)

Pic of Updates this week..

I did my weekly software updates and like clockwork the first video I tried
watching crashed firefox and created a bgreport {attached}. I also attached the
list of software updates to my system.. I ran the command you wanted after
firefox started to crash again:
streamer-plugins\* pulseaudio\*
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.8-5.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-pulse-0.9.5-0.4.svn20070924.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.6-7.fc8
pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.8-5.fc8

pulseaudio-0.9.8-5.fc8
pulseaudio-esound-compat-0.9.8-5.fc8
pulseaudio-utils-0.9.8-5.fc8

pulseaudio-libs-0.9.8-5.fc8
pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.8-5.fc8
pulseaudio-core-libs-0.9.8-5.fc8

I uninstalled firefox and yum installed it again with no reboots and firefox
still crashed. I removed firefox, rebooted, then yum installed it again and have
been watching videos without problems ever since... I ran your command again
while things are working well:
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.8-5.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-pulse-0.9.5-0.4.svn20070924.fc8

Please, don't hijack closed bugs for something else than they were originally
about — CNN is supposed to be played with totem plugin not flash.

As if we didn’t have enough flash bugs ;-)
