Already tried to disable all your extensions?

with shockwave flash 10.0 r42 disabled it doesn't crash, so looks like that's dodgy

Already tried to disable all your extensions?

The only extension/plugin I had (besides shockwave flash, natch) was skype buttons for kopete. Disabled that. Uninstalled & reinstalled iceweasel, purged and reinstalled iceweasel, even installed opera and tried on that - it still won't play, as it also won't on konqueror

I don't know what konq uses to play flash but opera looks in mozilla's directory as well as its own (which is empty) and that contains:

Code: Select all

$ lsl /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
total 72
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 2009-12-20 10:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  4096 2009-11-28 18:26 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    34 2009-12-20 10:25 flash-mozilla.so -> /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61200 2009-10-14 18:22 libskypebuttons.so

so I guess that's the problem: looks like both flash versions 9.0 r999 and 10.0 r42 are buggy in their ways, at least on this system.

What's slightly odd is that I think I did have the flash player stuff working a few days ago, but I may have done an upgrade which broke it around the same time the problem with noscript occurred.

UPDATE:

I suspect it's The Wrong Thing(tm) to do but I copied over libflashplayer.so from my Lenny machine (flash 9.0 r3) and now it works
And NoScript 1.9.9.29 works with it too (phew!)
