From: Lena@lena.kiev.ua To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, yury@gorodok.net Cc: Subject: Re: misc/177404: youtube videos in firefox not working Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2013 12:58:06 +0300 A better workaround: in about:config right-click any line, choose New, Boolean, enter the name dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npwrapper.libflashplayer.so , choose false. Then dom.ipc.plugins.enabled can be set to true (default). This disables plugin-container for Flash plugin only. Other plugins are executed in separate processes protecting Firefox from crashing when a plugin crashes. However, it's still a workaround, not a fix. With this workaround, if Flash plugin crashes, Firefox crashes too. Also, the abovementioned report that some non-Youtube videos will not play if the parameter is set to false.
