gecko-mediaplayer crashes firefox.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start firefox and open some pages
2. firefox crashes with:

peter@camobap ~ $ firefox
Registering '@mozilla.org/module-loader/python;1' (libpyloader.so)
Registering '@mozilla.org/network/protocol/about;1?what=python' (pyabout.py)
Registering '@mozilla.org/module-loader/python;1' (libpyloader.so)
Registering '@mozilla.org/network/protocol/about;1?what=python' (pyabout.py)
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.2/python/xpcom/__init__.py:54: DeprecationWarning:

  self.message = message
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so: undefined symbol:
gconf_client_get_default
peter@camobap ~ $

After I removed gecko-mediaplayer from system firefox works as expected.
I'm not alone with this problem:

I have gconf-2.6.26 installed and that's firefox-3.5.2. I'm unsure how to
debug this error and what information I can provide so if you have any
questions, please, ask.

I believe this is a problem with the compiler flags uses in gecko-mediaplayer 
0.9.6.
I believe this problem has been fixed in SVN and will be fixed in the 0.9.7 
release
that will be released shortly.

I have this problem (or a similar one) with gecko-mediaplayer 0.9.8, Mozilla 
Firefox
3.5.4. I can successfully view about:robots, about:mozilla and 
about:sessionrestore,
but trying to view any other pages or opening the preferences or add-ons 
dialogues
triggers a crash. The following message is displayed just before Firefox exits:

/usr/lib/firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/browser-plugins/gecko-

This occurs even in safe mode, and does not occur once gecko-mediaplayer has 
been
removed

wahspilihp,

Most likely it is a similar problem? Are you using OpenSuse and are you 
installing
gecko-mediaplayer as a package?
