Our public crash stats lend some support to Jobs' claim. Flash is by far the biggest cause of crashes on OS X Firefox.
It is the largest problem on Windows as well, but the proportions there are more even because a lot of Windows installations crash due to viruses, trojans, toolbars, av programs, and other crapware.
- paul9290 16y agoNo doubt - I grew tired of Firefox and flash constantly crashing it. I watch a ton of online video/TV.
- there 16y agobut without having stats on how many "successful" flash renderings all those users' browsers complete, the stats would be pretty skewed towards flash just due to its prevalance over quicktime and silverlight. much wider use of flash would lead to more reported crashes even if quicktime crashed more commonly.
- sayrer 16y agoNot skewed when compared to crashes inside Firefox itself, though. Last I checked, over 50% of OS X Firefox crashes had Flash involved.
- paul9290 16y agoI just installed Firefox 3.6.4 on my Mac Mini (Snow Leopard) and then updated flash. In doing so, Firefox crashes each time I try to open it :( Going to use Chrome though I prefer to use Firefox. Any others experience this? Is there a fix - thnx
