hi,
Has anyone else been having issues with flash crashing very often with Icewasel? I am using iceweasel 10.0.7 and have flash 11.2 r202. I am using AMD 64-bit. It started maybe a few weeks ago. When ever I try to watch a flash video flash will crash on me and I always have to hit refresh. Sometimes I have to refresh a few times for the video to start playing for me. Is there anything I could try to fix this or is it a bug in flash?
Thanks. |

| I installed chromium and it will crash using that also. |

| I noticed this on a windows machine. There appears to be a problem with flash 11 and 'firefox' . . . as far as I can see it has't been resolved yet. |

| Do you know if adobe will fix this issue or have they stopped all development on the linux version of flash including bug fixes? |

| Adobe and Mozilla were 'working together' mid-June but haven't heard anything since. |

I use nightly and don't see this problem in 64-bit, 32-bit (gaming, cause 64 sucks for gaming) and windows 7 32-bit (work)
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:18.0) Gecko/18.0 Firefox/18.0 - Build ID: 20120907030554
The last time I used version 10.0.2 was 7 months ago 17-Feb-2012 06:15
No matter what version of linux, windows, I use nightly and never had a problem. I dropped iceweasel completely sometime last year (always used to compare the way nightly and iceweasel behaved).
I figured if I am in a bleeding edge (debian sid) distro I might as well use a bleeding edge browser (firefox-nightly) and doing so has no complaints what-so-ever from me and am very pleased with it.
Just my point of veiw |

| The most noticeable issue in the UK is the BBC iPlayer fails to initialise. |

Last night I downloaded the 64-bit firefox nightly and flash still crashes on me. I renamed my .mozilla folder so it would create a new profile but it did not help.
I am not sure why it still happens for me. |

| One of the fixes (I believe it was on mozilla's site) was to go back to flashplayer 10 although I have no idea if there are security implications with that. It worked here . . . . |

You could try deleting the .mozilla folder again and in konsole doing
Code:
ln -s /tmp ~/.macromedia
and then restarting firefox
Can you post some sites that are giving you problems ? |

I have tried your suggestions but am having the same issue. The only site I can think of right now is a site I visit the most and have the most issues is www.twitch.tv
I have tried youtube and it seems to be fine on that site. |

I thought it was a graphics driver issue also so I switched from the nouveau driver to the nvidia driver a couple days ago but the issue remains for me.
Btw, I have an nvidia geforce 7800 gtx.
I will see if downgrading resolves this. |

I have no problems watching that video on the site that you posted, I was thinking add-ons, but you did delete the mozilla folder.
I am stumped. |

| It seems to be crashing less now that I am using the nvidia driver. But now that I am using this driver things seem to run slower. Some things seem to lag more. I have turned off desktop effects. Maybe my video card is just a little slow or it could just be me thinking that. Thanks for all the help. |
