Firefox crash

English Applications
#1

Hey,

I’m having problems with Firefox. It crashes when I try to play a video on Youtube, even though I have all Add-ons disabled. Starting Firefox from the shell, I get the following message when crashing:
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgstapp-0.10.so.0: undefined symbol: gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template
Exit code 127

I’m using Firefox 14.0.1 on OpenSuSe 12.1.

Thanks for the help in advance

#2

Disable Hardware Acceleration in flash settings

#3

That doesn’t fix it. I don’t have the problem on other sides like vimeo.

#4

Is it all the time or only when for eg: Playing HD full screen video

#5

I’m having the same exact problem. Just started recently without an update for firefox or flash… I’d be lucky if I can enter full screen.

#6

I tried youtube
Found some I could do at 720pHD and went full screen
It was fine

Using kde4
12.1 _64
Firefox 14.0.1
All updated

#7

Not trying to hijack the thread as I assume we both have the same issue.

I’m using the same as both of you guys. Just started happening last few days and youtube isn’t the only website where I experience crashes. Could be flash. I’m starting to not like firefox and flash.

#8

Try different browsers - does it still happen
Try a clean mozilla profile - does it still happen

#9

Works on new profile and different browser.

#10

I am not sure if it is relevant or not. I had a problem a bit ago where Firefox would immediately abort on switching tabs if I had any flash video loaded. This also happened in Seamonkey. So I tried Chromium and Opera: flash did not crash. I fixed the issue by removing the flash rpm and manually copying libflashplayer.so from the abobe tarball to .mozilla/plugins. I have not tested the RPM since then if someone wishes me to, I will.

Now you just need to figure which extension in FF is the problem…

I don’t have many myself

Some things you can try. In your old profile. Go to the Help menu and
start firefox with the addons disabled. See how it works. If there is a
problem, it might not be an addon, but perhaps some other crud.

Do this. From the Bookmarks manager, make a backup .json file and keep
it safe.

Start a new .mozilla and import the .jason file
You should have back pretty much everything you need.

One addon I recall being an issue recently’ish is Downthemall

And please guys:
Firefox has a crash reporter. Send the crash reports and let us know the
reference you can find in about:crashes

It’s so much easier to get an idea what the issue is!

Thanks,

New profile seems to solve the problem on youtube. As I already mentioned, the problem still occurs when all add-ons are disabled.
Same here nightwishfan: loading a video (e.g. on vimeo) and then switching tab makes Firefox crash too. New profile doesn’t solve this. I’ll try copying libflashplayer.so at some point later this week and report it here.

So backup .json in old profile
Start New profile and import
How is it

I have not had this problem on one laptop but the problem continues on the other laptop (same model). Constant Firefox crashes that seem to be directly related to flash. The crash does not happen on Opera or Chromium. I think this problem is odd because a crashing “flash” should only kill the plugin. Yet it takes down the whole browser. Is anyone else still having this?

The actual problem is gone since some recent update.
But still have the problem when switching tabs, even after a new profile
