Uses Debian Sid and a week before upgraded to Epiphany-2.18.now when i play a flash and then try changing to some URL,the browser hangs.I already submitted a bug report at GNOME bugzilla and they said they cant do much as it is a proprietory flash-plugin problem.below is the output of :

Code:

prakash@jaguar:~$ /usr/bin/epiphany.debian --sync

sys:1: GtkWarning: gtk_window_group_remove_window: assertion `GTK_IS_WINDOW_GROUP (window_group)' failed

earlier if i enable pango there is a message as below.so i disabled pango rendering.

Code:

NOTE: Enabling gecko pango renderer; this may cause performance degradation.
You can set /apps/epiphany/web/enable_pango to "false" to disable it.

So how can i prevent flash lock-up's.
I already invokes epiphany as "aoss epiphany" after a dpkg-divert to epiphany.debian containing "aoss" alsa-oss.this is the same issue which iceweasel too have when ESD server is used allover the GNOME Desktop.
So What is it related to?why failed to create service browser?is it related to HAL and dbus?
Thank You

Are you using the latest flash that was released just a few days ago?

Yes I do.now crash and hangs are lesser.
now thinking of trying GNASH(GPL swf player) after a loong time

I use Gnash on my 64-bit system and I'm very pleased with it. There is a new version waiting in the "new" queue which I got from here. If you don't like getting packages from Sid, you'll have to compile it yourself. This new version has lots of improvements including working for YouTube videos.

yes,thank you.I am running long time Debian Sid apt-pinned with testing,experimental in a low priority.gnash too is available.

btwn there is some support for flash and other plugins for 64-bit users coming(came!):
nspluginwrapper
