If you’ve just updated to Firefox 3.6.4 and use the Flash debug player, you may have noticed a problem. While you’re debugging, Firefox is killing you’re flash player session. Here’s the quick fix:
- type about:config in the firefox address bar
- search for dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs
- double click and change the value to -1
This will disable the hang detector that was added. It’s the same reason I don’t do any debugging in Chrome (alongside the lack of HttpFox). Sometimes a break point needs more than 10-15 seconds for me to figure out what’s going on. Check out more details here
