Thanks for your bug. What page do you use to get the crash? Could you get a
backtrace (the bug-buddy dialog to send the bug has it)?

I got to http://www.apple.com/trailers/ then try to watch a trailer.

Unfortunately, bug-buddy won't wake up, this is a Firefox crash. Maybe I can
provide some options to strace, or recompile totem-xine with -g?

Does it happen all the time for you? It works fine here. You can get a backtrace
by doing this after starting firefox:
- gdb -p `pidof firefox-bin`
(gdb) continue
... crash
(gdb) thread apply all bt

Does it happen as soon as you start playing a file? Does it happen on all the
files on this website?

what architecture are you using?

do it happen while playing the file or when changing the page after that?

Sorry I won't have time to test in the short term. Could Firefox be weaker
without libxp6 or it's just an urban legend?

what about libxp6? what architecture do you use, amd64?

No, i386. I refer to a thread on ubuntu-devel where people report they solved
Firefox instability by installing libxp6.

I think i have encountered the same bug. It happens when changing the page
containing an embeded movie.
I'll post a backtrace soon.

backtrace of firefox-bin after the segmentation fault

Here comes the backtrace. Unfortunately, there are lots of unresolved symbols.

Thanks for the comment. What architecture do you use? amd64?

I'm using i386, firefox version 1.0.7-0ubuntu15 and totem-xine
version 1.2.0-0ubuntu3 (both are current version of breezy).

I too am having issues with the totem thumnailer. Could it be separated from the
main totem package so it doesn't take down my browser every time I inadvertantly
load a video?

Ccing you, so you get the comments on what you say. I'm not going to split the
packages, that's not required for several reasons:
- if there is an issue open a bug, it'll be fixed
- you can change the gconf /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/video@quicktime settings
for that

This file works fine for me. What version of totem do you use? What
architecture? Could you put that to a new bug, this one is about something else

Black screen of death.

I apologize - I am tired. I meant the totem mozilla-plugin.

When I click on the link in my previous post, the video appears in the browser
using the plugin. It plays for a few seconds, and then stops and displays only
black. I cannot play it again. If I press "back" or try closing the tab the
browser immediately crashes.

The attached pic is the browser when it is displaying black. Pressing back or
closing the tab at this point will crash it.

I've just noticed this too. I installed the mplayer plugin in favor of the the
totem one, but an upgrade overwrote it. I've closed the window and Firefox is
still alive.

do you use an amd64 installation?

There seem to be a lot of bugs on this, so I didn't know which to post to. The
Totem plugin for Firefox seems to be crashing whenever I play a file. If I am
at Amazon.com I can listen to a windows audio stream (I am using Totem-Xine and
have the w32codecs, I know that isn't supported, but I thought I would post
anyway). Afterward, if I close the pop-up that it played in it will crash all
Firefox related windows. It will also crash all Firefox windows if I attempt to
play another file without closing the pop-up first. I am new to Bugzilla, and
as such am unaware of how to do traces or bug tracking. But if you tell me what
you need (if anything), I'll work it out and post it.

Yup same thing as everyone else.

It seems to be any video files as well. I'm not sure whether its totem or
whether its firefox thats causing the crash.

marc@ubuntu:~$ totem --version
Gnome totem 1.2.0
marc@ubuntu:~$

I tried using gdb -p (pid of firefox) and it froze firefox?
gdb spat out a lot of information though. Is that a separate issue?

firefox gdb

I'm hoping I've done it correctly I rang gdb -p pid after it had run the movie
and it recorded a lot of stuff.

Do you use an amd64? What file format is used for the backtrace file?

It's a .tar.gz. Marc: could you please retry and use the information on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash (from step 3 on)

This upload is supposed to fix the crasher:

 totem (1.3.0-0ubuntu4) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/08_firefox-plugin-fix.dpatch:
     - upstream patch to fix the firefox plugin crasher (Ubuntu: #14882)

Could people having the issue and using dapper have a try with it and comment on
the bug on how it works for them?

This version works perfectly for me. No more crash. With only one thing: when a
video is launched, the volume appears as muted, but sound is actually played.
But it's not realted to this bug.

Today, I noticed a new bug: after successfully playing an embedded video, if I hit "back", and then play another video, firefox crashes. However, if I open the new video in another tab, it works.

I also noticed that I can reproduce this bug on http://www.davesdaily.com/mediaclips.htm, but not on http://www.apple.com/trailers/.

Closing that bug as fixed, Julien please use new bugs for new issues you note, that's easier to manager with a bug tracker than abusing an another topic!
