[LUG] Firefox and Flash

 

Dear all

We have previously discussed FF hanging with flash. FWIW I came across a
discussion about npviewer.bin in Firefox at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647961. I had noticed that my
CPU was going 100% all the time so I had a look and this binary was
active betweeen 0 and 100% with FF most of the rest. It may be a problem
only with 64 bit computing as it is (was in 2007) a 32 bit programme for
flash. Interestingly I wasn't using FF at the time.

The forum suggested (for ubuntu users) sudo pkill npviewer.bin. Actually
I deleted some of the pages I was holding and this worked a treat.
