Description:
With the 64-bit flash plugin installed, Epiphany instantly crashes (with no console output) on any website that includes Flash content. This appears not to be an upstream bug - I cannot duplicate it on Debian. Perhaps it has something to do with Arch Linux's optimizations? Additional info: * flashplugin 10.0.d20.7-3 * epiphany 2.24.2.1-1 Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Flash plugin. If you do not have the Testing repo enabled, get it from Adobe's website and put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins. 2. Restart Epiphany. 3. Go to www.youtube.com, or any other site with Flash content. Epiphany should crash. |

Back in the days when we had to use nspluginwrapper, there were no such things as browser crashes, because flash would just kill the nspluginviewer application.
This is not a bug in epiphany or xulrunner, but something in a binary-only plugin. As Adobe doesn't opensource their flash, we can't investigate or fix this issue.
