Please refer to the upstream bug for further details. There is simply no sane way to fix this in the VLC 1.0 branch, due to the strong Xlib dependency. This problem can fixed either with a small change to Firefox, or by updating to an XCB-based VLC, i.e. VLC 1.1.x or later.
On the other hand, it does make the VLC plugin for Firefox almost completely unusable in VLC 1.0.6 :-/ ** Changed in: vlc Milestone: None => 1.1.0 ** Changed in: vlc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: vlc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- VLC plugin 1.0.6 crashes Firefox when changing streams https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582785 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
