Description

[John Webeber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050306 Firefox/1.0.1 (Debian package 1.0.1-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050306 Firefox/1.0.1 (Debian package 1.0.1-2)

I can access the site everytime using Mozilla Debian Package 1.7.5-1, but every
time I try to access the site with Firefox it crashes (closes every firefox
window).  THe site contains streaming audio and flash animation.  You have to
have  an account to log in.  I can repeat this bug every single time, and as
stated above, I have no problems when using Mozilla.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Login in to Kaptest.com
2.navigate to the online syllabus
3.click the link to any of the "Lesson on Demand" 

Actual Results:  
All Firefox windows close.

Expected Results:  
New window should open with streaming audio and and interactive animations. 
Works every time with Mozilla.

You have to have an account/password to access this website that I am not
inclined to give out at this time.  Please contact me by email if need be.

which plugin do you use to play .ram files (see "about:plugins").
Do you have a talkback ID from that crash ?

WFM
no crash on:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1

The given URL opens gxine player for me, so must be definitely a plugin problem.
I didn't get asked for any login though.

Firefox/1.0+

Firefox hangs for me on this page (and crashes for the reporter). Adding both
keywords. UI is semi responsive for me, but I can't close the program normally.

Do you also see the hang/crash without the plugin ?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
