How to mostly prevent Firefox crashing by Flash

Posted April 19th, 2008 by sugree

If your OS is Linux, especially Ubuntu, and your favorite browser is Firefox, you might notice some annoying bug that Firefox often crashes when opening pages with some kind of Flash. In case you have never seen this situation, you may try to open any Hi5 profile pages. I have just found a trick that helps me stay away from that problem. Not so sure but it seems to work better than before.

The source of this trick is for Edgy but it works great in Hardy!

You have to do one of below 2 choices.

  1. Add below line in /etc/firefox-3.0/firefoxrc.

    export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

    Your firefoxrc should looks like below.

    # which /dev/dsp wrapper to use
FIREFOX_DSP="none"
# Note that "auto" and "esd" involve the use of esddsp, which
# is known to be buggy and to make Firefox unstable.
# See https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29760.
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

  2. Disable Composite in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Whatever you choose, you should set default color depth to 24 bit.

nice improvement!

Excellent information for Firefox users although hopefully in Firefox 3 this issue won't persist.
