169322 - flash site crashes mozilla when *no plugins are installed*

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P1)

Description

[Jamie Zawinski]

about:plugins reports only "libnullplugin.so"

    % ls /usr/lib/mozilla*/plugins/

    /usr/lib/mozilla-1.1b/plugins:
    java2/            libnullplugin.so* 

    /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins:
    java2/            libnullplugin.so* 

Going to http://www.zeromancer.com/zmr.htm causes a framset with a few Flash
plugin icons to appear -- and then Mozilla crashes.  If it doesn't crash right
away, hit reload and wait for it to finish.  I had to do it three times once,
but usually it crashes by the second time.

Mozilla 1.1b, from the mozilla-1.1b-0 RPM on mozilla.org.

[serge (gone)]

Jamie, could you please try the latest nightly
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest, talkback enabled build?
there were several changes in libgkplugin.so since 1.1b,
at least I cannot reproduce the crash using Gecko/20020917 debug or release builds.
thanks.

andrew can you test? (would be nice to just "expire" some of these old flash bugs)
