Firefox crashing

[Urza9814]

So I recently moved over to a new computer, and I noticed firefox always crashed after a day or so...which is quite annoying, because I usually leave the same session open for weeks at a time. So, I ran it from konsole, and this is what it printed out right before it crashed:

 

Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8
Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8
/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  6858 Segmentation fault	  /usr/bin/soundwrapper "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

 

Now, that G_FILENAME_ENCODING I don't think is a big deal, because it printed that one...probably a couple hundred times. That other one I googled but failed to find anything. Any ideas?

This is probably due to the last Flashplayer plugin version. Here's from my .xsession-errors:

I'm not asking about the flash player errors, I'm asking about the segmentation fault. But thanks, good to confirm that's not a problem I guess :)

AFAIK flash plugin needs alsa-oss installed to operate. Dunno about Pulse audio intricacies, not using Pulse myself.

I just had the same crash (/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: xxxx Segmentation fault /usr/bin/soundwrapper "$prog" ${1+"$@"}). Only running Renoise and Firefox at the time, when I closed Renoise, Firefox crashed and wouldn't start again without a reboot.

I haven't got the Flash plugin (trying Gnash instead) installed so it's not that.
