[opensuse] Firefox and Flash Content
I seem to get random, sudden crashes of Firefox when I view Flash content. It will sometimes work and sometimes crash. I can restart without much trouble. I ran the app from the cli and it gave me the followng... kai@xwing:~> firefox Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 In help/about, I have Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080316 SUSE/2.0.0.13-0.1 Firefox/2.0.0.13 For Flash, I have: Shockwave Flash File name: libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115 MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes I've googled but this seems to be a hit-or-miss situation with openSUSE, Gentoo and a few other distros.

Can you provide a sample (or samples) of the URL(s) where this occuring? I am using FF 3 Beta 5 (NOT from Suse) without problems.

I think it's a defective flash plugin based upon moznet IRC feedback. Using SM trunk I see those usually at the same time I see these others: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425443 -- "Either the constitution controls the judges, or the judges rewrite the constitution."

Pretty much any YouTube video is a candidate. I watch that rather than regular TV, since there is absolutely nothing of interest on broadcast (or satellitte) for me to watch.

Joe Sloan suggested the same. I'll try it. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
