[Bug 1521789] Re: firefox freezes with GStreamer-WARNING **: External plugin loader failed.

 

I just upgraded to 15.10.  I created a new account to replicate the bug,
so no old settings would interfere.

I launch firefox, go through some tabs, and within a few minutes it
freezes.  This happens over and over when I try to use firefox.  This
did not happen on 15.04.  But when I upgraded to 15.10, it started
happening.  Again, I just created this account on this machine, so it
has all the default settings.

I did all the apt-get upgrades and rebooted the machine right before
launching firefox to capture this last freeze.


Here is what it says on the command line:

$ firefox

This most likely means that the plugin loader helper binary was not
found or could not be run. You might need to set the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER
environment variable if your setup is unusual. This should normally not
be required though.
