Flashplayer 10 crashes firefox when I try to watch youtube videos fullscreen [SOLVED]
Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm using Slack 12.2 |
Now, I am running Ubuntu, but full-screen worked fine for me. I am also running with Nvidia's drivers and Xfce. Maybe it might help to tell what window manager you are using, and your basic hardware specs (esp. the video card and driver). Might also be good to tell if you have been able to do anything else fullscreen.

I was also able to do this in Slack 12.1. |
Did you do a fresh install of Slack or upgrade, and if you upgraded, what was your process (http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwar.../UPGRADE.TXT)?
Finally, if FF hangs for a sec or so before crashing, it may help to run top or something to see if anything hogs up the processor or whatnot. Like you said, most of the other distros are working fine, and since 12.2 is new it is time to do some fresh troubleshooting. |
There was no proble with firefox 2.x, I just noticed that I have the same problem with 3.x version

And I don't think crash was a very good word for me to use. It just kinda locks up then I have to force quit it. I ran firefox from a konsole so I could see what was going on, this is what it says right as firefox locks up: Code:
*** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/firefox-bin: free(): invalid pointer: 0xaa5aa4c0 *** Thanks for the help, guys |
Hi Slacker Steve,
My solution was to rightclick in the flash window and uncheck the option "enable hardware acceleration" in settings. But I think that was a version-thing, I eventually upgraded to a later version of flash player and don't see this problem in v.10.0 r12. Still, it's worth a try. Jan-C. |

Worked like a charm. Thank you very much! Flashplayer 10 r12 is actually the version I'm having this problem with, but for now I will use your solution. Thanks again |
You're welcome.
Glad to hear it worked. I just wonder if it is a FP bug or what? Jan-C |
Glad that worked as well. I took the liberty of looking at my setup and found that the hardware acceleration is on by default. I now wonder what an lsof on the flash player would glean between hardware and non-hardware. May help narrow down what file is wonky.

Thanks again for the help, guys.
Now I can't seem to figure out how to mark this thread solved. Any ideas? |

Firefox 3 sucks. I deleted it from 12.2 and installed FF 2.0.

Update:
Installed the update for firefox 3.0.5. It fixed this issue |
