75383 - Flash plugin takes 4min 30 seconds to register at startup

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 68773

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Toby Haynes]

Linux build 2001040908

The flash plugin available from Macromedia takes forever to initialize, both at
startup and visiting the about:plugins page. Visiting the Macromedia site leaves
the browser apparently hung for about 5 minutes and then crashes out Mozilla.

This is a copy of the output at startup with timestamps added every fifteen seconds.

does this happen every time you start the browser?  Do you have any programs
accessing your sound device at the same time as you are starting mozilla?

Comment 2

[Toby Haynes]

Yes - good guess :-) 

I have XMMS up and running most of the time. Pressing STOP on XMMS allows
Mozilla to continue initialising immediately. I'm not using a sound daemon, so
I'm blocking /dev/dsp. It seems to be this which is halting Mozilla's
initialization. Note that this is a new problem - I have run this setup for
months - the previous build (20010404) I had did not suffer this problem.

Comment 3

[Toby Haynes]

Additionally, visiting www.macromedia.com causes the browser to crash,
regardless of the status of /dev/dsp

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

see bug 58339 for issues with flash and xmms at the same time.  :)

The crash should probably be a separate bug.

This sounds like bug 68773.
