Firefox hangs when tab or window containing a flash applet is closed. This only happens with sometimes.
Possible solutions
Sound problem
The problem can be that firefox is not able to play the sound since you have a newer Linux kernel (with ALSA).
Install libesd-alsa0. On a Debian based system just do:
<bash>apt-get install libesd-alsa0</bash>
Create a file named .asoundrc in your homedirectory. Enter the following text.
<bash>pcm.card0 {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1035
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 2048
buffer_size 32768
rate 48000 ##use 41000 here, if you believe your sound is choppy...
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
</bash>
/etc/esound/esd.conf
<bash>esd
auto_spawn=1
spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -d default
spawn_wait_ms=100
# default options are used in spawned and non-spawned mode
default_options=
</bash>
/etc/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefoxrc
<bash>FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"</bash>
Run gstreamer-propertiesand choose ALSA as Default Sink'.
Thanks to stone for this solution.
