I posted this in the FP 9 forums, but it doesn't look like anybody really pays attention to it, so I thought I'd re-post this to more eyeballs to see what your experience has been:
I know that there is a final push to get FP 9 out the door by the end of the month. However, I have to say that the frequency with which my browsers are crashing, predominantly when the content is Flash Video, is giving me some serious cause for alarm. In a browser like Firefox, where there is one process for every window you have open, losing multiple windows worth of work is immensely frustrating. I have submitted this same issue via the Wish Form several times as well, so this isn't the first I'm noting this. Here's my (seemingly standard) setup: Windows XP Professional with SP2, fully patched Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 Firefox 1.5.0.4 Flash Player 9, beta 3 (IE: Version 9,0,0,296, FF: Version 9.0 b296) Major commercial sites where the browser tends to crash: CNN.com ESPN.com In both cases, it is almost invariably any time one of the Flash Video ads for Apple's new Mac campaign appears. Further, I've noted that it gets to the point where the video looks to be done loading and is about to play back. I went to a second machine that had FP 8 installed, and the video played fine. I'm a huge fan of the improvements that FP 9 is offering for developers, but if I can't achieve stability accessing very common web sites, I can't ask my customers to upgrade so that they can use my Flex 2 apps....that just won't fly. Again, this looks to be Flash *Video*-related, as I've had no problems as of yet accessing standard SWF files (i.e., forms, etc.) that I have been developing. Are others experiences stability issues?
