Builds since last week crashin in helsinginsanomat.fi

Arpa · Post by **Arpa** » November 20th, 2002, 2:20 pm

I downloaded a nightly last week and started to have random crashes, thought that maybe those crashes go away by themselves with new builds. Can anyone else reproduce crash with www.helsinginsanomat.fi the page doesn't finish loading before browser exists.

talkback id's are TB14177311Z, TB14177239H and TB14177021M (from todays build)

First banged my head to wall with old profile, but the beheaviour is the same with fresh profile.

Previous working build was nov 7th maybe?

Do you still crash after upgrading to Flash 6 ?

Flash 6 didn't help. On the positive side: quitting Mozilla has never been this fast.

Arpa, the Talkback data mention a crash within Flash. I believe you have a remaining Flash 5 somewhere: previous NS4.x, NS6.x, etc. ?
You can check this using about:plugins
Can you remove all of your old Flash plug-in files and upgrade to Flash 6 only ?
For info, this is a known regression: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179822

Make sure you use the Flash uninstaller:

Both of those sites, including the one with the Pig and ghost story flash animations work fine for me.
In fact Adobe has never been a problem for me even with old moz versions.

Anyway WFM.

Moz 2002112004 Falsh 6.0.47.0 according to the dll

about plugins informed about 3 flash plugins, I searched for NPSWF32.dll and deleted all of them, about:plugins still says that flash is installed and is version 5? It's still crashing.

No idea beside a fresh profile.

i got hit by this as well.

grab ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/en ... /flash.xpi

that'll fix it.

Thankyou for everyone, I'm still crashing.Well I use phoenix or kmeleon until the flashbug gets fixed (they are getting lots of crashdata from this one I suppose)

Couple of additional points.

1.2 branch doesn't crash, I can't use it thou because I can't read my mail (mail accounts not visible on the left side)

Installing/uninstalling flash5/6/NS6flash doesn't have any impact. I always see at least 1 Flash in plugins list.

Is it normal to have several same plugins in about:plugins? Currently I have the following plugins installed:

Mozilla Default Plug-in (2 times)
Java Plug-in (6 different dlls)
Shockwave Flash (v. 5.0 r41 (can't get rid of this no matter what) and r30 (NS6?) at the moment)
QuickTime Plug-in 5.0.1 (5 versions, npqtplugin.dll npqtplugin2.dll etc)

plus acrobat and Windows media plugins (no dups there)

I can see the same list if I start a new profile, kill (rename) my old profile, delete moz directory and unzip new build and so on.

more recent talkbacks if someone's interested:

TB14284611H
TB14284589E
TB14284552Y (after "uninstalling" flash with flash uninstaller)
