Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
When my wife goes onto Singsnap.com the webcam works perfectly on my
Inspiron 1525, but if she leaves the page where she records music and
returns the camera will no longer work. The little blue light will not
come on and there will be no video output. The same will happen in
Cheese or Skype. If I close Firefox I then can get video in Cheese,
Skype, and even in flash again if I restart Firefox.
If I go into Skype or Cheese the video works fine. I can even start
video in Skype then stop the video and still get video in Cheese. I
don't need to close Skype to get other video to work unlike Flash in
Firefox.
I am not totally sure if the problem is with Firefox or Flash, but it
looks like the problem might have something with Firefox or Flash not
giving up control over the webcam.
I am using a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a built in 2.0 megapixel webcam and
using a fully updated Ubuntu 8.10.
