Seesmic making my Firefox crash.
Firefox crashes whenever I try to watch a seesmic video. My system now runs Firefox 3b5 in Ubuntu. Even video comments on disqus makes the browser crash and quit.

Inappropriate?Same problem here with both Firefox 3b5 w/Flash Player 10,0,1,218 and Flock 1.2.1 w/Flash Player 9,0,124,0 on Linux Mint 5 (aka Ubuntu 8.04 + cool stuff the Linux Mint team added). The Linux Mint team has done something to tweak FF3b5 so when Flash crashes, it doesn't take the browser down with it, but once that's happened, Flash stops working on any pages (ie YouTube) until you close and reopen FF3b5.
Flock 1.2.1 (aka FF2.0.0.14) crashes completely when it hits a Seesmic video.
Damndest thing, though. If I run a liveCD of Mandriva One KDE 2008 Spring with (I think) Firefox 2.0.0.14 and whatever version of Flash they have loaded on that CD, Seesmic and pages with Seesmic video replies play just fine.
So I can't blame it on Linux in general, but I do think it's crashing Flash and then taking down the browser with it.

Inappropriate?Here's some version numbers, if it will help any.
Flock version 1.2.1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080530 Firefox/2.0.0.14 Flock/1.2.1
+
Adobe Flash Player version 9,0,124,0 installed
Firefox 3.0b5
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052909 Firefox/3.0 (Linux Mint)
+
Adobe Flash Player version 10,0,1,218 installed

Inappropriate?That is annoying! I'll make sure we test for this.

Inappropriate?I have yet to successfully view Seesmic video using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1 whereas I can use 12seconds, YouTube, etc. all just fine.
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?Update: I just did a new install of Ubuntu 8.04 with Firefox 3.01 [Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1] and Adobe Flash Player 9,0,124,0 installed, and Seesmic videos are playing OK. I was using 1GB RAM before when I had the problem, and I have 3GB RAM in this new PC. Seems to be working now. Might be an issue with the amount of RAM in one's PC.
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?Seesmic is crashing Firefox 3.0.1 on my Windows XP system every time I try to record a video.

Hi Mark, at what point does it crash? Are there any error texts before the crash? If I told you where to find your crash log, would you be willing to send it to support at seesmic.com?
