If I, say, open a YouTube, and a coin-flip inside the computer happens to hit heads twice, firefox (or, gecko according to bug-buddy) crashes. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit a site, probably with audio, like YouTube 2. Try visiting other pages, and browse around a bit. Actual Results: Firefox just closes down. Expected Results: Firefox stands its ground and plays my video. jacob@jacob-gdesktop ~ $ eix -I flash [I] net-www/libflashsupport Available versions: (~)1.2 {esd gnutls oss pulseaudio ssl} Installed versions: 1.2(20:07:41 04/20/08)(esd oss pulseaudio ssl -gnutls) Homepage: http://pulseaudio.revolutionlinux.com/PulseAudio Description: Adds pulseaudio/esd/oss audio output and HTTPS/RTMPS support to Adobe Flash 9 [I] net-www/netscape-flash Available versions: [M]7.0.68 9.0.115.0!m 9.0.124.0!m Installed versions: 9.0.124.0!m(16:32:12 04/17/08) Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/ Description: Adobe Flash Player Found 2 matches. jacob@jacob-gdesktop ~ $ eix -I firefox [I] www-client/mozilla-firefox Available versions: 2.0.0.11 2.0.0.14 [M]~3.0_beta5-r3 {+xulrunner bindist dbus debug filepicker gnome iceweasel ipv6 java linguas_af linguas_ar linguas_be linguas_bg linguas_ca linguas_cs linguas_da linguas_de linguas_el linguas_en linguas_en_GB linguas_en_US linguas_es linguas_es_AR linguas_es_ES linguas_eu linguas_fi linguas_fr linguas_fy linguas_fy_NL linguas_ga linguas_ga_IE linguas_gu linguas_gu_IN linguas_he linguas_hu linguas_id linguas_it linguas_ja linguas_ka linguas_ko linguas_ku linguas_lt linguas_mk linguas_mn linguas_nb linguas_nb_NO linguas_nl linguas_nn linguas_nn_NO linguas_pa linguas_pa_IN linguas_pl linguas_pt linguas_pt_BR linguas_pt_PT linguas_ro linguas_ru linguas_sk linguas_sl linguas_sq linguas_sv linguas_sv_SE linguas_tr linguas_uk linguas_zh linguas_zh_CN linguas_zh_TW mozdevelop moznopango restrict-javascript startup-notification xforms xinerama xprint} Installed versions: 2.0.0.14(12:02:59 04/21/08)(gnome ipv6 java linguas_en -bindist -debug -filepicker -iceweasel -linguas_af -linguas_ar -linguas_be -linguas_bg -linguas_ca -linguas_cs -linguas_da -linguas_de -linguas_el -linguas_en_GB -linguas_en_US -linguas_es -linguas_es_AR -linguas_es_ES -linguas_eu -linguas_fi -linguas_fr -linguas_fy -linguas_fy_NL -linguas_ga -linguas_ga_IE -linguas_gu -linguas_gu_IN -linguas_he -linguas_hu -linguas_it -linguas_ja -linguas_ka -linguas_ko -linguas_ku -linguas_lt -linguas_mk -linguas_mn -linguas_nb -linguas_nb_NO -linguas_nl -linguas_nn -linguas_nn_NO -linguas_pa -linguas_pa_IN -linguas_pl -linguas_pt -linguas_pt_BR -linguas_pt_PT -linguas_ro -linguas_ru -linguas_sk -linguas_sl -linguas_sv -linguas_sv_SE -linguas_tr -linguas_uk -linguas_zh -linguas_zh_CN -linguas_zh_TW -mozdevelop -moznopango -restrict-javascript -xforms -xinerama -xprint) Homepage: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/ Description: Firefox Web Browser

Same issue with firefox-bin-3.0_rc1 and netscape-flash-9.0.124.0. Works after downgrading to netscape-flash-9.0.115.0.
Doesn't work for me after downgrading. I've been resolving a lot of issues on my system like this by recompiling. I tried recompiling Firefox, but that didn't fix it. Is there some other component that might cause these crashes?
Would everyone affected please report on whether this still persists with net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.12.36 ? Please post whether it works for you or not, and what version(s) of firefox you have tested with. The reason I ask is that netscape-flash-10.0.12.36 is on a fast-track for stabilization (Bug #239543), and version 9 will be going away.
Furthermore, please also post what version of media-libs/alsa-lib you are using... this could perhaps be a duplicate of Bug #235692
I have had no response for a few weeks here, and the latest flash version (10.0.22.87) seems fairly stable for most users. Please reopen this bug or open a new one if you experience the same problem after upgrading to the latest flash player.
