Public bug reported: i already posted this issue on the NoScript Forum here http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2295&start=30 and in the end i was suggested to ask for help here, after posting one in the "answers sections" and no replies so far i thought it might be a bug, here it is:
i run ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid ibex) have ff 3.0.13 installed with noscript 1.9.8.7 extension. first of all i have to say i never had this kind of problems with ff or ns, before i was running kubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) and it all went well, i didnt upgrade to ubuntu, i formatted the hard drive, so this is a fresh install. every time i enter a webpage with flash content i encounter the same issue: before i thought it was a "flash-plugin" problem, then i tried out all of them (proprietary, nonfree, gnash) nothing changed, of course before to install one another i was removing all traces of the previous one as the procedure explains. if accessing youtube.com (e.g.) and temporary allowing youtube.com and ytmg.com (in order to make the page re-load without noscript blocking flash, firefox freezes,it gets stuck and i can do nothing, cannot click anywhere at all (have to enter tt1 and kill the process from bash). in case i "allow scripts globally" before to enter youtube.com, or if i "allow the all page" then i can watch the video clips without any problem. i was told the problem could have been the only other extension i have instlled on ff (Ubuntu Firefox Modifications) then I disabled that add- on like you suggested (I didn't even know it was there) restart ff but nothing changed, same thing. i have an Nvidia 9600 GT correctly installed with proprietary drivers (version 180) automatically found by ubuntu, plus I tried both with Compiz or without it (with metacity of course), in case Compiz was the problem. here http://paste.ubuntu.com/261489/ is the output if running firefox from a terminal, dmesg doesn't seem to report any output about this issue. if there's anything else you need to know or you want me to try out please let me know, i'll be checking this thread every day, i love ubuntu as much as i like using ff with noscript, so i really hope someone is going to be able to help me thanks, max ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: firefox flash noscript ubuntu -- Firefox causes System freeze on allowing Scripts with NoScript when webpage has Flash content https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/423777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
