Bug Description

Related to bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/77399

So as to not break any dependencies, I'm locally removing the links in the plugins directory.
I suspect that either them or mozilla-plugin-gnash was causing my firefox to crash rather randomly, and a few crashes I met only had video content (not flash video), so I'm removing those links in order to be on the safe side.

Depending on the type of crash, we could be having a security risk.

Thank you for your bug. The bug is not really useful like that, could you describe what is happening, the version of Ubuntu you are using, get a crash file and attach it to the bug?

Hi,

I'm using Edgy. Launchpad really needs better bug reporting, I guess.

How can I help you get that crash file? Also, it's hard to know how it crashes, since I couldn't really see a patter other than "using it" or "not using it". Crashes have disappeared.

did you get any crash file generated to /var/crash when that happened? Otherwise you can get a backtrace from gdb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

I must've lost that warning along with all the spam.
I don't care that it's rejected, I hate viewing videos on the browser anyway.

IIRC there wasn't any crash file though.
