Using gnash instead of swfdec, I rarely get crashes for the same sites (if I
get any).
Also, swfdec is particularly 'crashy' after 0.5.3 or 0.5.4 I think. The
frequent crashes that I' m reporting here appeared in late releases. Before
these releases, swfdec pluggin rarely caused firefox to crash. Maybe it has to
do with something that was introduced lately?
Also, if that's somehow useful, I' m using precompiled packages provided
in
Archlinux official x86-64 repositories.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused
it.
Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces
for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

Sure, but since there are no debug packages for my distro, I should recompile
them to take a stack trace. What packages, besides swfdec, do you think I
should recompile? Are those that my distro's packaging system reports as
dependencies fore swfdec enough?

Recompiling swfdec and swfdec-mozilla should be enough in 90% of the cases. If
it's not, I can tell you after having seen the stack trace.

This shouldn't happen anymore with current git, as that part of the code has
been rewritten, so you could either try compiling git or wait for 0.5.6 and
then test again.

Petros, could you please compile a new version (0.6.4) and retry?

Please reopen if it still happens with a newer version of swfdec.
