Created attachment 360160 [details] gdb stack trace of firefox signalling SIGILL Description of problem: Firefox fails with a SIGILL (not a SIGSEGV) when I attempt to play flash content at the URL listed (in step 3) below. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q firefox firefox-3.5.2-2.fc11.x86_64 Adobe flash player 10.0.32.18, 64-bit from: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz $ sha1sum libflashplayer.so 8ec78fc69293eccc6aad3cb6272ba6356a522fe0 libflashplayer.so How reproducible: Every time I attempt to play the content at the URL listed in the stack trace. Steps to Reproduce: Install Fedora 11 for x86_64. Apply all recent updates. Download the flash player library from the URL listed above and copy it to the directory ~/.mozilla/plugins/ (only). At bash prompt, enter: 1. $ rm -rf ~/tmp/new-profile && mkdir ~/tmp/new-profile 2. $ cd ~/.mozilla/plugins/ 3. $ /usr/bin/firefox -g -d gdb -profile ~/tmp/new-profile -no-remote 'http://www.youtube.com/falltvpreview' Actual results: Firefox fails with a SIGILL signal. Expected results: Play the flash content, as occurs on Fedora 10. Some flash content does not cause Firefox/flash player to fail, for example /usr/bin/firefox 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32wIKaLkvc4&NR=1' Additional info: I will attach a copy of the large, multi-threaded stack trace for this failure.

Sorry, this is a crash in the flash plugin itself with which we cannot help. You would be much better by installing libflashplugin.so to %{_libdir}/mozilla/plugins and installing nspluginwrapper (if using 32bit plugin from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_(YUM) then you need both 32bit and 64bit version of nspluginwrapper, if using 64bit alpha version from http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ then you need only 64bit version). Then restart firefox (and you can check with mozilla-plugin-config -l that the plugin got installed correctly). In case flash plugin crashes now, the only thing would be that you get a grey rectangle in place where the plugin should be shown. Reload the page and off you go.
