No joy. Firefox still crashes with xine-plugin-1.0.2-1.fc10 on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5
It's a little bit wierd bug, this one... With Fedora's firefox (firefox-3.0.5-1.fc10.i386) it works perfectly fine, but with the mozilla's one it produces SIGABRT... I am not sure yet, where the bug actually is.
I've hopefully bisected where the issue is happening and it looks like xine-lib (more strictly said, the SIGABRT is happeing in xine-lib code, and if you remove xine-lib-extras-freeworld it's happening at slightly different position) is at fault, but for some reason, I cannot reproduce the bug anymore either with mozilla's or fedora's firefox - the buggy function does not get called anymore for some reason...
I am getting this error when starting firefox on a freshly upgraded f11. Before applying yum updates, I was getting a similar firefox crash in swfdec. Traceback is attached.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
