Reason for closing:  Won't fix

I can not. Firefox does not fall. He hangs on Adobe flash.

Oooh with Adobe Flash, you have a nvidia and using closed source drivers. There are some open issues about it. The classic solution is preloading libGL.so.1 before loading firefox. So when adobe flash tries to loading at runtime with dlopen(), this does nothing because is already loaded.

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 firefox

PS: Both libflashplayer.so from Adobe and libGL.so from Nvidia do some bad things in "the world of DSO".

>LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 firefox
It isn't solve problem.

I understood. I need to go. at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493541

I will lose the number of bugtrackers.
15 completely different ones. Everywhere errors.
avidemux, alsa, firefox, amarok, nvidia, hal, dhcpcd etc.

I'm sorry :(

the drop of the ff occurred during when I was scrolling page on the website. forum.ibt.com

On another sites the one behaved in the same.

I am confused, can not track you (sorry). This is what I understand:

* First: about crash in Firefox, (I recommend to run in safe-mode to disable all plugins and ext, etc.) And seems that in this case not Crash. OK?

* Second: about Firefox + Adobe Flash. (I recommend to run with preloaded libgl to detect if the problem is related with OpenGL aceleration in Adobe flash + Nvidia closed-source drivers). In this mode seems to crash. OK?

* Third: talk about other apps? what is say here, crash any of these? Confused :s

* Fourth: about a specific site and action that Firefox crash, but neither the site "forum.ibt.com" or "website.forum.ibt.com" exists. Entering in "http://www.ibt.com" I can not locate any flash content, and no forum. Please paste the correct URL.

Thanks.

I'm sory. - http://forum.ixbt.com

In regard to other items, I realized. - I'll look.

By the way, I wrote a report (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493541), but as the quiet there. But it is their problem. Not in the distribution ArchLinux.

The problem was resolved as soon as I had hesolved the problems with sound. (I didn't find that cloded topik here.)
Comment by Roman Kyrylych (Romashka) - Wednesday, 15 July 2009, 13:52 GMT
so, if I understood correctly, crashes were caused by flashplugin,
and after you fixed your sound problems (by switching to OSS4) - firefox no longer crashes, right?
Comment by Dmitry (veranyon) - Wednesday, 15 July 2009, 16:44 GMT
Yes, it's. I use Adobe flash about 48 hours. - No problem.
Comment by Dmitry (veranyon) - Wednesday, 15 July 2009, 16:48 GMT
...as soon as I went to oss (4front-tech) audio drivers.
