New issue 43481 by pipping.elias: flash crashes without ~/.mozilla/[..]
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=43481

Chrome Version (from the about:version page): 6.0.398.0 (Developer Build
46589)
Is this the most recent version: pretty much, yes
OS + version: Linux 2.6.33.3
CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 64-bit
Window manager: awesome (under X11)
URLs (if relevant): none
Behavior in Linux Firefox: does not apply
Behavior in Windows Chrome (if you have access to it): no access

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Browse to a site like http://www.colbertnation.com/full-episodes/

What is the expected result?

A video, flash not crashing

What happens instead?

Flash crashes

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot
and backtrace if possible.

The following files appear to be required for flash to run

~/.mozilla/firefox/<name of profile>.default/{cert8,key3}.db

If ~/.mozilla/ is missing, you'll end up with a (plugin) crash.

(nobody who has ever used firefox and not deleted ~/.mozilla since will not
hit this problem of course.)

that's a negation too many. if you use firefox, you will not hit this
problem. if
you've never installed/used it, you'll hit it.

If one of the files is missing but the rest is intact, the error I get (in
the flash
video) is

Error loading stylesheet. RSL
http://media.mtvnservices.com/global/flex/rsl/framework_3.2.0.3958.swz
failed to load.

I think chrome touches ~/.mozilla for this very reason

What do you mean, it touches ~/.mozilla? For me chromium does not create
that
directory if it doesn't exist. Even if it did create the directory, that
wouldn't
suffice. The other files needs to be there, too.
