Opera / Chrome crash on load

Post by FLOZi »

Was happily browsing away when Opera crashed, nothing too unusual as I'm running Opera Next and its particularly funny about flash. However it wouldn't reload.

And neither will Chrome.

Both instant exit on load, and their installers do the same thing. Only IE seems to work.

Sounds like some terrible malware but I can't find any info on google.

Any others heard of / seen this? :|

Fixed via safemode, system restore, and closing a bunch of popup tabs -_- before it recrashed.

This is yet another reason why I love click to play on flash and other plugins. Adobe aren't the greatest when it comes to security and stability, heck the Photoshop SDK uses GOTO statements for error handling when try catch statements would work better

kill opera_plugin_wrapper.exe frequently when flash apps freeze, like youtube fullscreen videos. chrome's flash plugin seems to crash a lot as well, prolly a plugin related memory leak or something for either browser

This makes me rage uncontrollably. Why would they ever do that? Why are there so many incompetent programmers?

GOTOs are still quite common for error handling in VBA etc... it's quite a common way to not deal with problems.

That's VBA though, glorified scripting, this was C++ code, and code intended for 3rd partys to include
