Hi guys,
I was able to consistently reproduce a crash in Firefox with the Flash Player.
Here's how you can consistently achieve this. Note that I do not know if this works on a single-monitor setup (and if so how to reproduce it). It is very easy to do on a dual setup though.
1. Go on YouTube and watch a fullscreen clip. For the sake of illustration, please let me offer you the following song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHKDCqnH_7M.
2. Open a new Firefox window and put it on the other screen. You should have YouTube on Monitor 1 and a new Firefox window on Monitor 2.
3. Make sure the Firefox windows are maximised (at least the new window from Monitor 2). Otherwise, it won't work.
4. Start the video and make it fullscreen. Now you should see the following: Monitor 1 shows the video fullscreen, and Monitor 2 shows a maximised Firefox window (whatever it is).
5. Pause the video. If you don't pause the video, no crash occurs.
6. Click on the Firefox window on Monitor 2, and tada!!, you've got yourself a crash.
That doesn't work for you? Oh Lord... please don't get the video drivers in there as well. I've got an ATI Radeon HD 5450. This card, along with the ATI Radeon HD 5xxx series, is somewhat buggy on a dual setup. (For example, the cursor tends to become messed up while playing windowed games). I suppose it's unlikely that this has anything to do with it, but who knows...
Enjoy.
Philippe.
