Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 246213
Firefox crashes on Flash heavy site
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:34 EDT
Description of problem: Firefox crashes when attempting to display http://www.logancitybrassband.com Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.5.0.12-1.fc6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start firefox 2. Visit http://www.logancitybrassband.com 3. Actual results: Firefox crashes Expected results: It shouldn't crash Additional info: If you have other instances of firefox running, they die as well Core dump is nearly 60MB!!, so your bug system refuses to accept it :-(
Take a look at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_a_stacktrace_with_gdb for info how to obtain backtrace from the coredump.
Why not visit the site yourself and create a core dump? It takes about 5 seconds, probably less time than it took you to right your message.
Hmm, what about -- because it is not crashing on me (and yes, I have x86_64 so I have no Macromedia Flashplayer here, because it doesn't work on 64bit platform)? I would suggest installing Flashblock (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433) or similar Firefox extension. However, it seems that then this website is not that much useful. Anyway, can I get that backtrace from you? Otherwise, I will have to close this bug as unreproducible.
sorry, the last sentence of the first paragraph should end with "without flash viewer" -- no offense meant against the site itself.
Created attachment 158207 [details] screenshot of the next page from the one reporter's browser crashes I cannot reproduce it even on my notebook which is i386 and with flash-plugin installed.
What version of flash plugin you have? It's flash-plugin 9.0.31.0-1 here.
Just tried reproducing and while the browser gets very slow for me, it doesn't crash. A backtrace would be most useful so we can determine where the fault is.
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
Can't you fix it yourself?
What do you mean? Whether we can (using clairvoyance, crystal ball, or by the similar means) discover what's going on inside your computer? Remember, we were not able to reproduce this bug here.
Matej, don't care about flash crash. It's an external plugin and we can't fix it.
Closing per developer's comment 11.
