Description: swfdec 0.8.0-1 crashes Firefox 3.0.1. I was scrolling a web page displaying a thread of an SMF powered forum and it was consistently crashing, until I disabled swfdec plugin. Since swfdec was recently updated it seems to make sense to conclude that it's the culprit.


Additional info:
swfdec 0.8.0-1
Firefox 3.0.1 (Gran Paradiso)


Steps to reproduce:

Install swfdec.
Open firefox with a SMF forum viewing a thread (though it may randomly happen elsewhere too, as it crashed on some other pages as well).
Scroll, though sometimes it crashes on opening a page too.

Thanks
This task depends upon

this is a known bug in firefox 3.0.1, swfdec 0.8 and websites that use wmode=transparent. Firefox 3.0.2 should fix this problem, but it's not released yet.

Frequent crashing due to swfdec also happens with Epiphany.
