Opening a page on site http://news.walla.co.il that contains an embedded media player with wmv stream leads to crash. The example of such page is http://news.walla.co.il/?w=//1255425

I believe that the crash is not reported by breakpad since "about:crashes" shows no reports.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open http://news.walla.co.il/?w=//1255425
Actual Results:  
crash

which plugin is used to play video/x-ms-asf on your system, look in about:plugins
I'm sure that this is a plugin error and no Firefox problem.

You are right this is plugin problem. The plugin is Totem plugin 2.20.0. Disabling the plugin solves it.

The real problem is that Ubuntu installs this plugin by default, so user won't know about it till he will run into ocasional crash. It will also take him a while to figure out where the problem is. The 2.0 version does not crash with the plugin.
