--- Comment #9 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2008-05-11 19:21:10 --- OK, looking at this again because a user was complaining that firefox with flash crashed for him in wine, http://sapincher.livejournal.com/45568.html
Installed both Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 beta with the script
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-firefox rm -rf $WINEPREFIX export WINE=$HOME/wine-git/wine /home/dank/wine-git/tools/wineprefixcreate $WINE ~/installers/misc/Firefox\ Setup\ 2.0.0.14.exe $WINE ~/installers/misc/Firefox\ Setup\ 3.0\ Beta\ 5.exe $WINE ~/installers/adobe/install_flash_player.exe sh ~/winezeug/winetricks -q fontfix corefonts
where install_flash_player.exe is the latest from adobe, 9.0 r124.
Both Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 beta 5 have trouble with the flash benchmark at http://www.powerflasher.de/bench/ Run it in the browser; on the third test, it does crazy stuff (negative numbers of lines) and doesn't display anything. Works fine on native Firefox.
Firefox 3 beta 4 and 5 both crash when they try to display http://heise.de It's happened straightaway each of five times I tried it. Doesn't happen on native or on windows.
