Comment 13 for bug 1474003

One thing I'd like to understand is what causes the plugin process to crash. Would somebody mind helping me with this?

What I'd need you to do is:

- Install debug symbols by running "sudo apt-get install firefox-dbg".
- Run Firefox and navigate to a page that embeds a plugin object (I assume that this is Flash that you're experiencing these crashes with?).
- Attach gdb to the plugin-container process running Flash by running "gdb -p <pid>" (where <pid> is the process ID for the relevant plugin-container). You might need to do this as root, depending on your configuration.
- Navigate away from all pages embedding plugins (best to close all but one tab and then navigate that to http://start.ubuntu.com/)
- Wait half a minute or so - until either plugin-container exits or crashes.
- If plugin-container crashes, please provide the stacktrace from gdb by typing "t a a bt f".
