Flickr Create crashes Firefox 34
Can anyone confirm that opening https://www.flickr.com/create/ with the latest Firefox 34 beta crashes it? I tried with a new profile and the same happens.

These are the crash reports:
bp-1685075f-f311-4603-a2d5-d79d12141118 bp-d025af3a-668b-4663-a44d-9b41c2141118
It seems related to graphics (MPEG4).
However, today I've updated to the beta 10 and now it works without crash! I have not touched anything, I guess I was not alone.

No crash in normal Firefox.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
Flash is notorious for not cleaning out the older version as part of an update. Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac Then reinstall the latest version.

No problem here with the latest 34.0 beta version.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check for issues caused by plugins and set all plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page (plugins are not affected by Firefox Safe Mode)

Firefox uses too much memory (RAM) - How to fix This article describes how to make Firefox use less memory to make it run faster and prevent crashes.
So it seems to be something wrong with the report information. I tried with different profiles (default one, new one, ...) and different PCs, it wasn't a memory problem.
Now I tried at home with Firefox 34beta9 and it crashes again: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/7dd2c3c5-3a01-4936-9efc-b191d2141119
I updated to Firefox 34beta10 and now it works :)
The crash report flagged these;

Found some information at this link. A bit confusing.
Perform a System File Check to fix the corrupted system files http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html
See if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
Some of that link said the user profile may be corrupt. Create a new profile. Run it and see if the problem returns.
