Nothing to do with memory or swap space (which though low, was never in fact used during any of the tests according to the busybox 'free' utility). On the Celeron 400MHz CPt machine, Firefox always crashes out on trying to load the BBC news video stream. I then upgraded Firefox via tazpkg to version 2.0.0.13, but that made no difference.

I also tried doubling the memory in the other Celeron machine (a Dell Latitude Cpt laptop) to 256 MByte (using the memory from the CPx Pentium III machine), but on that machine, Firefox always crashed out when trying to load the BBC news page video stream. I then downgraded this second machines RAM to 128 MBytes, and guess what - Firefox with Flash plugin still worked fine without crashing out. Flash worked fine in Firefox with no Firefox crashout. I have now tried the above on my other old laptop: a Dell Latitude CPx 450MHz Pentium III system with 256 MByte RAM and only 80 MBytes swap partition. Using slitaz-stable with Firefox 2.0.0.12 and flash plugin from get-flash-plugin and only one tab open. I'll try it on my other machine which has double that RAM and feedback on the result. I'm using a full install of Slitaz on my hard disc, though I'm only using a 80 Mbyte swap partition. I'm using dialup so had to wait on it loading the clip, but it never made it before Firefox just shut itself down. For example, I installed flash with get-flash-plugin, and then went to 'I also have trouble with Firefox suddenly closing down on a 128 MByte RAM Celeron 400MHz machine sometimes (apparently when doing anything heavy).

Here are my Slitaz/Firefox/Flash 9v124 results: I've still to try the links mentioned in this thread but I'll post back if they cause any different behaviour.

I describe my experience below in case it helps shine any light on any Puppy with Flash issues. Odd thing is it works fine (so far) on one of my two old Dell Latitude laptops (one a CPt, the other a CPx). However, I have been experimenting with it and Firefox 2.0.0.13 on Slitaz. I've never bothered loading flash plugin on my Puppy Linux with Firefox installation.
