Works For Me, using build from 7th july (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.0+)

Flash is loaded by this site. Do you have flash, and if so, which version ?

Mine is Shockwave Flash 7.0 r25

You can see it by entering "about:plugins" (without the quotes) in URL bar.

Thanks.

Crashed here before Flash was installed.

Using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

Works fine with Flash installed. But should it be necessary to install Flash to
stop Firefox crashing?

Scott: TalkBack Quality Agent doesn't appear after crash? If yes, could you
provide TalkBack Incident ID?

Comment 4

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

WORKSFORME on linux 0.9.1 and CVS, without flash installed.  nullplugin pops up
a dialog telling me I don't have the plugin installed.  Do you have an
old/incompatible version of flash somewhere that ffox is finding?

[Stipe Kotarac]

Works for me too, on win32 0.9.2 without Flash installed.

Comment 6

[Scott Butler]

Environment: Fedora Core 2 with all updates running on a 2.6 Mhz HP with 512M.
There is no chance to use Talkback. When I attempt to access the site, the open
firefox windows simply vanishes.

Let me know if there is any information I can get for you.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
win xp, freshs install, no flash nor extensions
Works ok for me

And i don't see any flash code in the source...

There are many Talkback-IDs:

http://talkback-public.mozilla.org/talkback/fastfind.jsp?search=1&searchby=url&match=contains&searchfor=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.intellicast.com&vendor=All&product=All&platform=All&buildid=&sdate=&stime=&edate=&etime=

(seems to be a problem with java?)

Comment 9

[Scott Butler]

Please close this report. The problem was that I had a copy of the
libjavaplugin_oji.so in the plugins directory rather than a symbolic link.

Five dummy points for me.

Is it possible for firefox to defend itself a little better against this
particular user error?

possible yes? easy? no. if you have a spare hundred thousand dollars (rough estimate, it could take more) to pay a programmer to implement out of process plugins (including scriptability support), let me know :).
