Description walt 2015-08-15 14:15:01 UTC
This is an upstream bug, so I'm filing this bizarre bug report just for the benefit of future googlers:

With Flash enabled in firefox-40.0.2, go to www.npr.org and click on "NPR Hourly Newscast" (right upper corner of the screen):  the Flash player will crash.

Actually, the crash happens only if you happen to have *both* the regular Flash plugin *and* the libfreshwrapper-pepperflash.so plugin installed at the same time.

I removed /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libfreshwrapper-pepperflash.so and the crash went away.  (I can't even remember how that plugin got installed, but I don't need it and it causes a problem.)

This is new behaviour in firefox-bin-40.0.2:  I had both kinds of Flash plugins installed for months and didn't see this crash with firefox-bin-38* and 39*.

Reproducible: Always

Not sure if it's the same bug, but I'm experiencing crashing since Firefox 40.0.2, too. I've tried to make a backtrace, but the only thing it made is:

Do you have www-plugins/freshplayerplugin installed?  If yes, which package pulled it in as a dependency, and what happens if you un-merge it?

No, I don't. But maybe my problem is not same as authors; it's probably bug 558150.

If you feel I have closed your bug and it is still a current issue, please reopen and update it completely. We will not work bugs that have no ebuild in tree any longer or can not be reproduced with a current system.
