This URL, http://chandrakantha.com/articles/indian_music/bansuri.html, causes FF in Linux to crash every time.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Goto http://chandrakantha.com/articles/indian_music/bansuri.html
Actual Results:  
either the browser crashes without error message when the page loads
or the page loads and the browser crashes without error message when you click play on any of the videos

Expected Results:  
page loads and the YouTube videos can be played

Suspect this is about the YouTube flash player but if that is causing a problem, FF should not crash because of it. It should politely notify the user that that video cannot be played or better yet, it should play the video.

Used flash Player Version ?
A plugin runs in the same thread and if the plugin crashes it also kills the browser.

Please also attach a stack trace with debug symbols.
You can also try flash10 RC

Flash 10 has been out for a while and is much better than Flash 9 on Linux.

Without a stack trace or reliable steps for someone else to reproduce, there's nothing we can do here.

Closing as INCOMPLETE. Please re-open if and only if you can reproduce using latest Firefox and Flash versions and can post a crash ID or stack trace.
