Crashing a lot recently

[prince...@hotmail.co.uk]

I have Shumway installed as I love the concept and want to see it progress.
However recently it has been crashing Firefox repeatedly.

Is there anything I can do with a crash that would help you develop Shumway?
Do the Firefox crash reports find their way to Shumway devs?
I expect Shumway is a small team and not able to receive lots of crash reports.

I have taken to switching Shumway off for a week and then see if it is any better (as it gets updated nearly every day).

Should I leave it for longer? What sort of time-frames do you envisage for Shumway?
Are we now on proof of concept or alpha stage? How long (very roughly) until the next stage?

Not automatically, no. We receive the crash reports and present them at
crash-stats.mozilla.com, but just from the crash report we don't know
that Shumway was involved.

If you have a repeatable way to make Firefox crash with Shumway, please
file a bug report (bugzilla.mozilla.org: Product "Core" component
"General") and cc me on the report. Because Shumway is only JS+canvas,
the crashes are likely bugs in either the JS engine or the graphics
code, and I can help redirect those to the appropriate engineering group.
