Upgrading from netscape-flash-10.0.12.36-r1 to 10.0.20.7_alpha causes firefox to segfault if I visit sites that use flash (apparently). The case in point for me in gmail, also a couple other sites (wonkette comes to mind). Adding 10.0.20.7_alpha to package.mask, and downgrading back, makes the problem go away. Perhaps there is something else wrong that isn't the flash player? 'revdep-rebuild' didn't return anything, so I'm assuming that this is the broken package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade netscape-flash to 10.0.20.7_alpha 2. Try to check your gmail account with firefox. 3. Repeat. 4. Cry. Actual Results: Segfault and sad chat-panda Expected Results: Chat and lolz! "Segmentation Fault" is the only output I get to the console. So, you really want 'emerge --info' here?

Same here. Some sites like Youtube work fine, others crash the browser horribly. Thank god for NoScript so I can decide which embedded Flash to show...
echo "=net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.20_alpha">>/etc/portage/package.mask emerge -C netscape-flash emerge netscape-flash emerge nspluginwrapper seems to provide working flash with no segfaults. Looks like Adobe totally hosed the 64-bit flash rollout.
Whoops. make that echo "=net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.20.7_alpha">>/etc/portage/package.mask for the first line.
(In reply to comment #2) > Looks like Adobe totally hosed the 64-bit flash rollout. Have you tried the latest 64-bit version (10.0.21.1_alpha)?
Apparently I have. I haven't noticed any problems with flash sites (YouTube, etc.), so I guess they fixed whatever the problem was. Yay!
Excellent, good to hear! Closing this bug.
