I assume there are a lot of other users in the same situation. It's bad enough that I'll end up ditching Firefox for another browser if I don't find a fix soon.
I used Firefox for several years without this problem and it started spontaneously a couple of months ago I assume after an update of Firefox or Flash. I will add my voice as another user who would like this resolved. > which case I'd say it should probably be resolved as worksforme since we're not > We're waiting for confirmation that something in flash 9 fixes the problem, in > works in older versions of firefox, and something in an update breaks it. > This hasn't been marked invalid as of yet because there are people reporting it Only since the problem has become so much more frequent have I finally decided to go to the trouble of reporting this.
I suggest these reasons because I have had random shockwave crashes for many many months and have, for one or more of the above reasons at different times, decided against going to the trouble of adding my name to a bug-report. Since there's not a really solid lead to give to the devs on where to start one might assume that it isn't worth bothering them about it yet.ĥ) People often times assume that in a program that is still under major developement that it is expected to have such major bugs and that the bug is probably widespread and there are plenty of people that have already submitted a bug report. I usually have many tabs open and any one of them may have had flash content that would crash the program. In response to comment #11, I suggest that this is a real problem and that possible reasons that complaints are not more widespread include the following:ġ) The problem is a nuisance but may not annoy most people enough to come to bugzilla and submit a bug report.Ģ) Most people figure the "talkback" is enough of bug submittal.ģ) Most people would rather just use a built-in browser to browse the sites that are making firefox crash than try to mess around with bug-reports.Ĥ) Personally, for the most part I cannot find a website which consistantly makes firefox crash.
I have installed the Flash 9 release as of a few days ago to no avail.Īlso, my room-mate has experienced this problem as well. For some reason recently it seems to happen much more frequently.
