Comment 258 for bug 192888

     So I've generally just dealt with this, since firefox now at least has the option to reload it's tabs. My gentoo boxes do not crash with flash though -- now with flash10 or previously with flash9 (even when using libflashsupport, to get me audio over the network.) I never thought much of it, I mean, they're totally different distros.. I didn't think I'd track down the root difference.
      But, today I looked -- gentoo uses a different libflashsupport! It gets it from https://svn.revolutionlinux.com/MILLE/XTERM/trunk/libflashsupport/Tarballs/libflashsupport-1.2.tar.bz2

     I built it, installed it on my ubuntu system. No sound. It checks for pulse then esd by looking in /tmp/.pulse-[USER], /var/lib/run/pulse, and /tmp/.esd. So I put "export FLASH_FORCE_PULSEAUDIO=1" into my .bashrc. Sound, and virtually no crashes! I've managed to crash once, but I have bwin.de AND lepoint.fr up, no crashes, even if I play the vid on bwin.de. (As they say way up there --^ bwin or lepoint alone crash almost 100% of the time).

     Someone ought to take a look at this copy of libflashsupport, and either adapt it to ubuntu, or find what bug(s) it fixes compared to the 0pointer code. I suppose per the code from 05-16-2008, it might not be a 100% fix but it seems quite a bit more stable to me.

     Or, alternately, get flash10 into hardy... then of course libflashsupport can be ditched.
