Greetings nightly testers. We have several bugs open for flash crashes
where we need a set of 100% reproducible steps. If you could please read
the following set of steps <span style="font-weight: bold;">carefully</span>
before performing any testing we would really appreciate it.<br>
<br>
I would suggest visiting all different types of flash sites and
performing all different operations while playing games/watching videos.
Going full screen, changing video quality, dimming lights, etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide getting us some
reproducible steps for the signatures listed below.<br>
<br>

<br>
=======================================<br>
<br>
<span>Adobe needs our help in diagnosing and creating reproducible
test cases
for some of our top crash issues related to the new protected-mode
feature in Flash <span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">11.3.</span>
<br>
<br>In order to do useful testing, you need the following setup:
<br>
<br>* A Firefox 16 (Nightly) build.
<br>* Windows 7 or Vista running on a hardware machine (not in a virtual
machine VM). Currently we are not focused on testing windows XP which
has protected mode disabled.
<br>* The newest Flash version, currently <span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">11.3.</span>300.265.
Please don't bother
testing with older versions unless a bug request asks for specific
verification.
<br>
<br>If you experience a plugin crash (frowny face) while doing testing,
please:
<br>
<br>* submit the crash report
<br>* go to about:crashes and visit the crash report page on
crash-stats.mozilla.com
<br>* it may take a few minutes for the crash report page to become
visible;
please try reloading
<br>
<br>We are especially looking for crashes with the following crash
signatures:
<br>
<br>*
F_835252764_________________________________________________________
<br>* mozilla::plugins::PluginInstanceChild::EnsureCurrentBuffer
<br>* F_1513036030________________________________________
<br>* mozalloc_abort(char const* const) | NS_DebugBreak_P |
mozilla::plugins::PluginInstanceChild::ShowPluginFrame()
<br>* F1942785704_____________________
<br>* F909392315_____________________________________
<br>
<br>If you experience a crash, please try to repeat the crash using the
same
general steps. If you can repeat the crash, please <b
class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>file a new bug<span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> in
the Core:Plug-ins bugzilla component and cc <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:benjamin@smedbergs.us">benjamin@smedbergs.us</a>.
We
are currently not interested in bug reports on crashes that happen only
once and are not reproducible. Please include the following information
in the bug report:
<br>
<br>* A link to the crash-stats crash report
<br>* The steps you took to reproduce the crash.
<br>* Information on the graphics card and graphics driver version
<br>* The general speed of the computer in question; we expect that some
of
the crashes we are tracking only occur on very slow or very fast
hardware
<br>
<br>For the time being, please <b class="moz-txt-star"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>do not<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>
add comments to existing bugs; I
will personally be responsible for marking duplicates when appropriate.
It is very likely that some of these crash signatures represent several
different related bugs, and I don't want to confuse the generic crash
signature tracking bugs with specific fixable issues. Please do not cc
anyone at adobe.com until I have looked over the report and potentially
marked duplicates or asked for additional information.
