firefox crashes whenever i open a vine
Hi,
Whenever I try to open a web page that has a vine video in it, firefox crashes. This happens everytime. Even opening http://www.vine.co will crash firefox. I noticed the same thing with this website www.flashscore.com, whenever a team scores, firefox crashes. I tried running firefox in safe mode, I even made a complete uninstall and reinstalled, same thing. I really don't want to use another browser. Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

hello disappea, what kind of sound card are you using? mozilla's developers are working on a fix for some models which crash on certain html5 audio contents, which should currently already be present in firefox nightly - for details you can also refer to bug #970147.
in addition to what was said there, you could try to disable sound "enhancements" in the windows speaker device properties as a temporary workaround...

Hi Edmeister,
I should say a few things.
Just tried downgrading to Firefox 26.0 and the problem was immediately solved. However Firefox upgraded itself to 27.0 again and problem came back as soon as upgraded.
Since I did a clean install there is only 2 crash reports. However I can generate more if it would be any help to you.
I couldn't figure out how to copy the whole crash report so I'm sending you the crash report links, hope it will work.

Thank you very much.
yes, that's the issue i've already suspected - for details please see my prior reply.
Dear Philipp,
Thank you! I am using Creative Soundblaster X-fi Titanium and disabling enhancements seems to have worked. Can enter vine.co without firefox crashing.
Thank you very very much!
I would like to add that I am having this exact same problem since upgrading to Fire Fox 27. I am using the Sound Blaster Titanium HD sound card. If I check the "Disable Sound Blaster Enhancement" box in my control panel then I no longer crash when opening certain videos. If I uncheck the box and try to open those same videos I instantly crash. This was not happening under FF 26.
I hope they find a fix since disabling a major feature of my sound card is not an option I plan to use for very long. I know Chrome does not have this problem. Thanks
@JohnD212, the fix is going to ship with the next firefox version 28 (due mid-march).
Great news! I can't wait as long as I know a fix is coming. Thanks!
