Crash Plugin container

Post by gryphon »

Is this just me? Wow.
I have had so much trouble with flashgot and viewing videos on say YouTube. The Firefox Plugin Container crashes on a per-minute basis. Crash Crash Crash. Multiple versions of Firefox & flashgot make no difference. :cry:
I actually don't DL videos that much, but it seems stupid to not be able to keep some for later and I hate to knuckle under to the Google/YouTube worldwide conspiracy determined to suck my brains out.
Believe me, this is a real problem.

Yes, it seems to be only you so far.
Have you got latest Flash Player?
Does it happen on a clean profile with just FlashGot installed?

PORN WARNING

I can force Plugin Container crashes simply by increasing page Zoom level on pornhost.com.
Never thought to attribute it to FlashGot.

Let me see if I can find a "tame" page.

If I can dup in -safe-mode (unless -safe-mode disables Plugin Container?) then I was going to file a bug.

Search:
http://www.google.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pornhost.com%2F+0068138732&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=seamonkey-a

Top link should be:
http://www.pornhost.com/0068138732/

Set zoom level on pornhost to be 150%.
(That is important cause you really want to see the action :lol:.)
Kidding aside, it is important to increase the zoom level.
Also having Adblock Plus enabled, blocking page adds could be important too?
When I open the page, the Flash, the plugin area, is topmost on the web page. Top & center. (If Adblock Plus was not installed, there would be ads above the Flash area.)

(Also note that sometimes Live Jasmin gets by too. But then I'm sure it's set to fire - only sometimes.)

Open the link from the Google search.
Also make sure that Tabbed Browsing, switch to new tabs opened from links is not enabled. (IOW you do not want the link to have focus when you open it from the Google search.)

Now jump to the opened link.
(pornhost.com Allowed, & Flash Allowed)

Plugin Container should crash.

This is on the (SeaMonkey) Trunk.
(Actually thinking FF could be different in this area, not sure?)

(Just a knock to note that I've edited above a few times.)

This shot should also give you a relative idea where the Flash object would appear on the screen (topmost).
(I would assume that disabling dom.ipc.plugins.enabled <& restart?> would alleviate the situation?)
javascript:sendEvent('playpause'), it says:

Does disabling FlashGot and/or ABP actually help?

I don't know?
Hadn't gotten that far yet.
Yesterday I searched bugzilla for "pornhost" but got no hits.
When I get some time & was going to see if I can dup it in -safe-mode (or "near" -safe-mode), so I can't say whether extension related or not at this point.
