BTW, problem doesn't happen in other browsers.
from irc:
<Mardeg> firebot: vlc
<firebot> Mardeg: VLC is an Free/Open Source media player (http://videolan.org). There is a VLC plugin for Firefox which causes crashes and other nasties. Use VLC at your will, but don't install the plugin, and if you did, uninstall it.

"problem doesn't happen in other browsers"
What do you mean with other browsers ?
I hope you don't mean IE because that doesn't count. (ActiveX vs npapi)
Always add the used plugin version in a bug repoirt, in this case the VLC/VLC Plugin Version.
Please create and attach a stacktrace:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_with_WinDbg
!analyze -v -f
I'm sure this is just another VLC plugin bug but the stack will us show more.

npvlc.dll - Version 0.8.6h (That came with VLC 0.8.6i, which is currently the latest stable version)
By "Works fine in other browsers", I mean that in Safari(Win32) with latest webkit and in the latest Opera 9.52 weekly, I do not get this problem with npvlc.dll. It still may be a VLC problem, but Opera and Safari seem to handle it.
> WinDbg
I'll see if I can get WinDbg setup properly and working. Might take awhile though, but I'll get it to you.
I take it you were not able to reproduce then?

Closing old bugs in the Plugins component. We aren't going to track issues in 3rd-party plugins in the Mozilla bug tracker. In addition, support for NPAPI plugins will be removed at the end of this year; for more details see the post at https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/
If there is a serious bug in Firefox, it needs to be filed in the "Core" product, "Plug-Ins" component.
