Okay, good news regarding finding the problem that causes this bug. The problem is indeed the update to Mozilla Firefox 3.0
After reading Jeremy LaCroix's comment: "Also I forgot to mention, my problem seems to have started with Firefox 3 B5. I don't remember having trouble before that." I decided to test if Firefox 3 Beta 5 was causing the problem. I had not upgraded to Firefox Beta 5 (didn't check for updates), but found the update to Beta 5. I updated all other (irrelevant) packages, except firefox, firefox-3.0, firefox-3.0-gnome-support, and firefox-gnome- support. I then opened Firefox from the console (to see any error messages) and proceeded to test extensively and try to make nspluginwrapper and/or flashplugin crash. This including opening many Youtube videos as tabs, and refreshing random Youtube tabs. Firefox did slow down dramatically, and it did "freeze" for a few moments, but Firefox/flashplugin/nspluginwrapper did not crash. The Youtube videos continued to play. No error messages relevant to nspluginwrapper/flashplugin were on the console. I then upgraded the specified packages. Once again, I opened Firefox from the console (to see any error messages) and proceeded to test extensively and try to make nspluginwrapper and/or flashplugin crash. Nearly immediately, without opening more than one or two Youtube video tabs, the flashplugin crashed and nspluginwrapper outputed errors on the console (same errors as those in Bug . I am convinced this is evidence that an update from Firefox Beta 4 to Beta 5 caused the bug. I will look for any relevant bug reports that document this issue, which should be after 2008-04-05 (April 5th), when Firefox Beta 5 was added to the hardy as an update. Please specify if you know of any such bug reports. Otherwise, I will open a bug report if necessary. -- [Feisty] Firefox crashed -- libflashplayer.so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104470 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
