Recently I have been experiencing some problems going to various websites
with flash video -- and not always the same behavior every time. Firefox
will lockup and require killing. It feels like a runaway memory leak kind
of thing, though the mem-stats don't show it.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior? A version incompatibility?
Mint Linux 6 (12/2008): Ubuntu 2.6.27-14.37-generic
Firefox: 3.0.13 "For Linux Mint 1.0"
- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.13)
Gecko/2009080315 Linux Mint/6 (Felicia)
Firefox/3.0.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
- DivX Browser Plugin: mplayerplug-in 3.55
- DivX Browser Plugin: Gecko Media Player 0.7.0
- mplayerplug-in 3.55

I realize that Mint and Firefox both have upgrades right now, but I am not
ready to upgrade this box. It seems that previously I had no problems, but
there have been some auto-updates to Firefox in the last month or so.
