[Bug 1521789] Re: firefox freezes with GStreamer-WARNING **: External plugin loader failed.
Going on skomorokh's advice I downloaded the apparmor tools to put things into complain mode and so forth. Theoretically this should not have fixed firefox, but it seems to have done so for me. Firefox always used to freeze within minutes for me. Now it hasn't frozen in days. I didn't do anything other than install the apparmor-profiles and apparmor-utils packages and tinker with complain a little. I did *not* note what files it complained about nor did I whitelist any. Yet it started working, and has done so for the past few days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1521789 Title: firefox freezes with GStreamer-WARNING **: External plugin loader failed.

[Bug 1521789] Re: firefox freezes with GStreamer-WARNING **: External plugin loader failed.
I ran into this myself. From the above it looks like you use apparmor too so it's probably the same problem I had---Firefox uses GStreamer and 15.10 shipped a new version which changes the path. Try running your browser unconfined to see if it fixes the problem and then use complain mode to identify which files you need to give it access to. For me it was these: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer1.0/gstreamer-1.0/gst-plugin-scanner /home/myuser/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1521789 Title: firefox freezes with GStreamer-WARNING **: External plugin loader failed.

This is a screenshot of what happens.

[Bug 1521789] Re: firefox freezes with GStreamer-WARNING **: External plugin loader failed.
I just upgraded to 15.10. I created a new account to replicate the bug, so no old settings would interfere. I launch firefox, go through some tabs, and within a few minutes it freezes. This happens over and over when I try to use firefox. This did not happen on 15.04. But when I upgraded to 15.10, it started happening. Again, I just created this account on this machine, so it has all the default settings. I did all the apt-get upgrades and rebooted the machine right before launching firefox to capture this last freeze.
