Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Josh Matthews [:jdm]]

Attachment: Browser process backtrace

STR:
1. visit the URL given, play through the first three screens (you cannot die, just proceed to the rightmost part of each screen until the screen fades to black)
2. notice the whole browser hang on exiting the third screen
3. kill the plugin process, notice Firefox resume regular execution

This was observed on FF 14 across multiple platforms, and persists in the 8/17 Nightly on Fedora 17.

I'm using Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202.

This is Linux-only or have you reproduced on other OSes? If so, what Flash versions?

Comment 4

[Josh Matthews [:jdm]]

I have seen it be reproduced on other OSes, but I didn't have a chance to get any details besides the FF version number (it was a computing summer camp).

Resolving old bugs which are likely not relevant any more, since NPAPI plugins are deprecated.
