Swfdec - Nov 2008 - [Bug 18356] New: Firefox freeze when multiple tabs have flash playing

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18356

           Summary: Firefox freeze when multiple tabs have flash playing
           Product: swfdec
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: medium
         Component: plugin
        AssignedTo: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: jacobdm1011 at yahoo.com
         QAContact: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org


I just loaded Ubuntu 8.10 and when I installed a flash player in Firefox, I
decided to give swfdec a try.  I then went to Youtube to see how it worked.  It
worked just fine when I only had one movie playing, but whenever I tried to
open more than one (each in their own tab) Firefox would freeze up.  I pulled
up the system monitor, and Firefox was using all of one of my processors (I
have a dual core), and there was a consistent download going on that never
ended.  I tried this multiple times, and each time I had to force firefox to
quit.

0.8.2 fixed a freeze with h264 video on youtube.com, please try it when
available for your distro or try compiling it from source.

Ok, switched to 0.8.2 myself: 8 youtube.com videos playing concurrently with at
least one of them h264/aac and no hangs. And i have a low spec machine for
these days.
Please reopen if 0.8.2 does not fix the issue for you.
