I have this bug on my ~amd64 system as well. Some websites (YouTube) work; others (like the OP's Google Finance one, or the hulu.com main page) don't.

Same problem here, makes firefox run at 100% continuously, blocks audio device output to pulseaudio. Reverting to 10.0.15.3 works fine.
Bug is still there in mozilla-firefox-3.0.7.
I am running mozilla-firefox-3.0.6 with netscape-flash-10.0.22.87 with no such issues. Google finance, Hulu, Youtube, etc, all work properly. A couple possible suggestions you could try to narrow down the source of the issue by playing with some of the settings in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg - see if any of them fix your issue. Other possibilities include interaction with other sound software, or perhaps GPU issues, since flash-10 may make use of accelerated graphics. I'd suggest starting on a clean desktop with absolutely nothing else running (especially sound apps like esd, pulseaudio, etc), and a fresh Firefox profile. If that works, try re-adding sound apps and Firefox extensions until you can figure out what the cause is. The bad news is that no matter what the cause is, I'll have to direct you to Adobe's bugtracker: https://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and close this as UPSTREAM, since I can't actually do anything at all to flash.

(In reply to comment #7) > Before doing anything else, I'd like to know that you are on an amd64~ system. Yes, both my development machine and me wife's laptop are running up-to-date ~amd64, with no flash issues. I suppose when I say "No flash issues" I mean "no more than I would normally expect". For example my wife's laptop suffers from some of the sound issues you see reported intermittently, where flash may require or consume exclusive access to the soundcard. But I have not seen any crashes in firefox due to flash with 10.0.22.87.

I guess I need to check if you are running in 64 bit mode. Also I have tried some changes to /etc/adobe.mms.cfg but all failed the same as using the defaults. If you made changes from the defaults, I'd be happy to try what you have. I have also tried with all sound off and with alsasound restarted. Assuming these questions don't clear anything up, I'll file a bug report with adobe. (I atarted, but realized these questions should be reolved first.)

Yes, this is the case. I'm running true 64-bit firefox with 64-bit flash, and it seems as stable as I would normally expect from flash. I don't know of any flash sites I or my wife normally visit that cause firefox to crash every time. I wish you luck with your upstream bug reporting. Perhaps enough reports of "weird" behaviour would encourage them to release a 64-bit debug version.
Comment 10 caused me to try the dastardly link again. Amazingly it no longer crashes, I presume due to other updates in the last couple of weeks. But there is a chart that should display and it does not. It's good to see progress, but we could use more.
I have the same problem here. I found this starnge thing. I hope this gives some light at the end of the tunnel. Go to Edit/preferences in firefox. Go to content tab and disable javascript. The have a try again with the url: http://www.google.com/finance?client=ig&cid=626307 It doesn't crash, so maybe flash and javascript are having some problems both of the working at the same time. Web pages with flash and no javascipt seem to work perfectly... but i haven't tested this too much. Hope it helps
I'm amazed you discovered this! Of course without javascript I can't load the page that has the link to the data I want, but I can confirm that what you discovered is the same here. Once I am on the page if I disable javascript and reload the page it works. I've tried to see if something similar might be done to get you tube videos to play sound, but this did not fix that problem for me.
I had the same problem for a while. It has been resolved just by doing eselect java-nsplugin set 5 (i.e sun-jre-bin-1.6-plugin2)
The solutions in comments #12 and #14 don't affect my system. I get a segfault when it crashes, so I'm fairly certain that Flash is doing something it shouldn't be with my Athlon 3300+, and it's not the Java/JavaScript stuff. Upstream isn't acting on it though, so, well, thank goodness for dual-boots.

Latest flash plugin kept crashing my FF as well, causing segmentation faults. This is on ~x86, so if this issue here is really amd only, it's a different issue. I'm not sure. I got some core dumps, and while two of them list the flash plugin, one lists some deeply nested JavaScript interpretation, which sounds a got bit like comment #12. The page http://www.ortlieb.de/ seems to trigger the bug quite likely for me. What's surprising me is that this happens immediately after FF restores a crashed session, even as I've got flashblock installed. I would have expected no flash code execution at all unless I clicked one of the blocked flash elements, but the core dumps say otherwise. I opened a bug report upstream for my issue. Right now, access to it is restricted, but I guess it might become public soon, in which case you'll find it at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-2149 In the meantime, this one here might be of interest to you amd64 people: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1224 In case you want to get your own core dump files, run these on a command line: ulimit -c 5000000; firefox Then you can get backtraces using gdb --core=core /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox
@ #18 Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, as I went to comment on the Adobe bug page, the access was denied I don't know why. Looks like a new Gentoo bug should be opened as this seems to be a separate issue. And it is clearly an upstream issue. I am surprised that there is not much on this issue so far. As mentioned above, looks like Adobe Flash 10.0.22.87, x86_64 behaves badly with Glibc 2.10. Firefox is extremely crashy with flash - whether the stable 3.0.10 or the 3.6a1pre from trunk. In fact, any browser should fail. I checked out in Opera 10 beta - the browser stalls for a few moments and then recovers (thankfully doesn't crash and shut down completely). Thanks to the report above, I at least don't feel alone :). This is on a Gentoo amd64 system. I did a weekend update to GCC 4.4.0 and Glibc 2.10.1. While it was all fine with Glibc 2.9 (and GCC 4.3.2), after this update, firefox started crashing randomly and frequently (most websites contain flash). Hopefully, the bug will get more visibility when Fedora 11 comes out with Glibc-2.10 in a few days. It is sad that on my system with about 2000 packages, I was able to trivially fix all packages that had issues with latest GCC (and Glibc), and now after a day of compiling, I am stuck helplessly with Adobe Flash. If at all, it only reflects the need for open source and code freedom. While Adobe has done a good job of coming out with a 64-bit flash library for linux, definitely more is expected - like prompt updates from NVidia. Especially when there are competitive alternatives like Moonlight lurking around.
(In reply to comment #19) > I am surprised that there is not much on this issue so far. As mentioned above, > looks like Adobe Flash 10.0.22.87, x86_64 behaves badly with Glibc 2.10. Actually, I'm not entirely sure this is the issue. I am running an up-to-date ~x86 glibc-2.10.1 with no issues at all, and my wife's laptop is an up-to-date ~amd64 with glibc-2.10.1 While I use flashblock, I still can't seem to mimic your crash situations with any of the pages mentioned, and nor has my wife mentioned any flash issues, and she uses it quite often. It could be glibc-2.10.1 or some other package... That's the problem with a statically-compiled library from somewhere else :( There is an x86 debug version of the latest flash available, but not for amd64. Perhaps I'll try to get at least the x86 version in the tree shortly, and that may provide a bit of info. Maybe. I'll update this bug if I get it going.
I am experiencing the same issue. vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 2800+ I think everyone who is affected by this has: "cpu family: 15"
I'm Family 15, Model 12 (Athlon 64 3300+) so I agree with #21.
(In reply to comment #21) > I think everyone who is affected by this has: "cpu family: 15" You may be onto something here! My test machines are all "cpu family: 6", and I do not see this error on any of them.
@ comment #20 and comment #18 I take (some of) my words back ;) (and badmouthing adobe :p). It turns out that the problem is due to my latest update to gnutls-2.8. Reverting to gnutls-2.6.6 fixes things. (I realized something is amiss when the problems persisted even after reverting to glibc-2.9 and gcc-4.3.) Many thanks to bug 272388 for figuring this out, which seems to be related to this. Hopefully some one can confirm.
with net-libs/gnutls-2.6.6 the segfaults of firefox/flash are gone. Is there a list of packages flash depend on?
You may do 'ldd /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so' to get a rough idea of the packages flashplayer depends on.

If you want more information about indirect dependencies, this might help: LD_VERBOSE=1 LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 \ /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so On my system, there is no mention of gnutls. I had a gnutls mentioned in some backtrace while investigating this whole issue, but it was from flashplayer through libcurl, just like bug 272388 comment 7. Given the fact that libcurl isn't listed as a dependency by ldd either, though, we can assume that libflashplayer does some dynamic linking, and the output of ldd or the command above is only of limited value. On the other hand, the adobe-flash ebuild depends on both dev-libs/nss and net-misc/curl, from which I'd deduce that it does its low level ssl handling via libnss, but does some high level url requests via libcurl, which in turn uses gnutls if configured to do so. So maybe "USE=-gnutls emerge curl" would be another way to work around this problem. It could be that the crashes not mentioning libcurl or libgnutls in their backtraces still were the consequence of some kind of memory corruption caused by a bug in gnutls. With a small application and a well reproducable bug, I'd consider valgrinding the application, but I'll not go that way with this bug here, as the applications involved are too complicated and the bug is too difficult to reproduce reliably, at least for me.
I guess this bug here is really the same as the (much more frequented) bug #272388, for which there is a patch from upstream at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnutls.git/patch/?id=86ca9d6ce227a877 If that patch fixes all issues mentioned here, we can safely close this report as a duplicate.
Thanks for the good work on this, people! Reopening so I can close as duplicate.
