Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[smadayag]

Problem:  Three flash content, one is a common news video clip, one is a game demo and last one is a molehill particle demo. when load these three website in Firefox, firefox will crash, if we try them in IE9, then out of memory sign appears.

This is not an injection issue, it can be reproduced with Anza/Brannan/Cyril and latest Dolores builds.

But from Cyril build, the dumps will be different according to the setting to  ProtectedMode(set it in mms.cfg)

Adding comment from the engineer who investigated this

"http://www.simppa.fi/experimental/as3/2011/molehillparticle/1_4_million/ is a stress test, it is not unlikely you will run out of memory.....that one test case alone requires a whole gigabyte of memory.
Someone is calling exit() instead of crashing.  I cannot capture a crashlog because it is not a crash as such."

When Flash catches the OOM condition, we handle it and shut down normally.   In other cases, we just exit out.  It seems that perhaps FF is not dealing well with a failed allocation in its code and we crash

Flash doesn't crash for me now in Flash 11.8 and the trunk.

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] 🇵🇱 - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

I'm marking this bug as WORKSFORME as bug crashlog signature didn't appear from a long time (over half year).
