[SOLVED] flash crash in firefox 3.6

Question

Hello archers!
I have archlinux with i3wm.. no DE just albatross gtk theme set with lxappearance. After installing xorg i installed mesa, mesa-demos, libgl and xf86-intel-video. Flash crashes after I start new video. I have to refresh the page to get it working. Everything else installed works like it should. Flashplugin is installed from repos as well as openjdk. Its not a major problem for me but I havent found a solution here on forums or on the net. Ty
My dmesg output is
[drm:intel_panel_get_max_backlight] *ERROR* fixme: max PWM is zero.

Answer 1

I fixed it like this. I was sure the problem was not in hardware acceleration but in firefox since flash was working in opera. You can also try this and enable ha again
The problem is in crash reporting in 3.6. More info on
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins#Disabling_crash_protection
type about:config and change value from true into false for all dom.ipc.plugins values starting from this
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;false
after that change value from 45 into -1 in
dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs
Problem solved. Thanks for the feedback!
p.s
Actually firefox keeps crashing when I enter this. Bummer..
