Hello This is a bug opened for tracking the same issue seen in firefox (and gecko based browsers): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156493 In summary, the problem is that, currently, webkit browsers also crash when flash plugin (or a different plugin) crashes. The wanted behavior would be that a plugin crashing wouldn't crash all the browser. This is what is done supposedly by Chrome browser. I wrongly thought that this was solved with webkit but, after sending https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600333 (with this backtrace https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=trace.html&trace_id=218723 ) they told me that flash plugin was still causing whole browser to crash. I have also searched here before and have found a lot of reports related with crashes caused by flash plugin, then, as it's closed-source, maybe would be better to try to make webkit not to crash when plugin crashes. Thanks a lot
