Hi,

can anybody reproduce this bug? or does this just happen by accident?

If you frequently see crashes, it would be good to test if using firefox without extensions helps: Run firefox from command-line like:

 firefox -safe-mode

Thanks,

Hi Alex

I can reproduce the crash by visiting the site www.cecubo.com, which is rather annoying since the site is mine !!

This site contains a swf file with sound, which I suspect is the cause of the problem

OK, Thought we had a reproducible manner to generate the crash.

Happy hunting !!

I'd like to add: just noticed that so far it has only happened with multiple tabs open. When I open a new tab with flash content it crashes while that tab is loading.

You know, I used to wonder the same thing. Initially it's actually more helpful to approach it from a "this isn't working, what do I need to do to fix it" standpoint.

For example, the first thing I worked on by myself is when my car wouldn't start. I bought a manual and did the steps until I landed on the starter being broken.
Found the section for removing it and started breaking bolts loose. Just keep track of what bolt came from what point. Most of the time they make it where you putting the wrong bolt in is obvious that it doesn't fit.
Took the starter apart and put a new solenoid on it and slapped it back together.

It took a while, but persistence is key, and having a basic set of hand tools is essential.

If you get the gumption to tackle something and find yourself stuck, give me a shout and I'll be happy to help you through it. I'm not a pro by any means, but I can do the basics on most cars in my sleep now, lol.

I think I'm the only one impressed that a two year was able to successfully remove the gun from handbag undetected. Disengage the safety. Lift the semi-heavy hand gun for a 2 year old. Aim it directly at a vulnerable spot and *then* land a kill shot.

This kid is a natural.
And for all the people saying oh no that kid is going to need a lot of therapy. I bet those people don't have kids because guess what, that kid won't remember shit it's too young.

Things off the top of my head:

Large file transfers to /Public. Could fill up all space on his hard drive with goat porn.

Even better, is there a folder that goes to "Desktop"? This should lead to the desktop off all user profiles. You could some social engineering here. Put something extremely interesting here, and have him click on it. Could be something just to spook him, or something that executes a malicious payload.
