65524 - Going to the webpage will sometimes crash mozilla. Related to not having the shockwave plugin.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 54921

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Jason Price]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010105
BuildID:    2001010517

Going to http://www.foxtrot.com/comics will occasionally crash mozilla when you
hit the 'cancel' button on the shockwave plugin download dialog.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.foxtrot.com/comics
2.This will crash it sometimes, but you might have to hit 'previous' a couple of
times.  I *BELIEVE* it occurs when there are 2 different advertisments requiring
the shockwave/flash plugin, however it happens too fast for me to confirm that.

Actual Results:  All browser windows crash.

Expected Results:  view the page.

I've tried to install the shockwave/flash plugin, and when I followed the steps
(copy libflashplayer.so and Shockwaveflash.class to /plugins) mozilla took
FOREVER to load up (like 5 minutes), so I deleted them.  I took a look around
the bug database, and this problem is different from bugid's: 56112, 35916,
57012, 58128, 62672, and 65389.  Those seem to all deal with issues within, or
communication with an existing shockwave/flash plug in.  I don't have one
installed at all (apparently).  This is a clean install of mozilla 0.7.
