geswall versus flash player

hi!
i have a problem with geswall and adobe flash player. when i start firefox (isolated by geswall) and try to watch an youtube movie or any other site movie, firefox just crashes. any advice what to do would be greatly apreciated.
thanks in advance!

 

Sounds like you "might" need plugin-container.exe

Or maybe not

 

What if you run FF out of GW?
Can you post a log of geswall.

Thanks

 

have you tried running it as Non-Isolated just once and relaunching it?

 

Are you running the Vids full screen?
Flash don't like full screen mode sometimes.

 

Tipo,

It is very easy to see what goes wrong. You have to provide some info from the GW log.

Open GW console, browse to log, scroll to bottem, remember time of last old entry

Start Firefox, go see a movie and refresh F5 the log, scroll to bottem and cut out the new log lines. Experienced GW users can help you then.

 

I use GeSWall and had this problem too. It turns out that the problem is the container that Firefox now uses for things like Flash. To fix this do the following.

1) Open the Geswall console.

2) Click on Applications -> Web Browsers -> Mozilla Firefox

-"Add rules" of type "File" and use setting "allow" for the following:

A) \Device\NamedPipe\chrome
B) \Device\NamedPipe\gecko-crash-server-pipe

After I did that I had no more problems with Youtube or any other flash site with GeSWall. Under Isolated Applications a new entry will show up when you visit a flash site called plugin-container.exe.

 

yes and it runs like new. when i launch it isolated and browse to flash movies site and try to open one movie it just freezes.

You are welcome. One of the links aigle posted is where I got that from. It took a little bit for me to run up on that. I'm just glad there was an easy fix for it.

 

thanks to you. another freeze from firefox and geswall and I would immediately uninstall geswall. it`s a good application but if plugin container is now integrated in firefox geswall must be upgraded.

 

Maybe it will be taken care of in version 3.0 when it is released.

Whenever that may be.....

 

Gets kinda old waiting,especially when they dont even give a time frame it'll be released in.

 

the free license says it will expire 12.12.2010. who knows maybe after that date will be replaced with the new version.
