Public bug reported: I just upgraded from Dapper to Edgy Knot 3. When I was using Dapper I had the Flash plugin installed. I have not installed any plugins on Edgy at the moment.
Whenever I visited a site with flash e.g.: ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://tvnz.co.nz http://www.airnewzealand.co.nz http://www.flash.com (resolves to adobe) https://www.slingshot.co.nz/DesktopDefault.aspx ------------------------------------------------------------------ Firefox would crash with the following error: ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 118 error_code 8 request_code 144 minor_code 3) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) ------------------------------------------------------------------ I tried with a clean profile directory and those pages worked as expected. Deleting the plugins folder of my old profile directory has fixed the problem. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- [Edgy] Firefox crashes on sites with Flash if old profile directory is used https://launchpad.net/bugs/61366 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
