The VideoLAN Forums

I am unsure whether or not this is a Firefox issue or a VideoLAN issue, if you press the back button in Firefox once a video file loads after being completely downloaded and begins to play in Firefox, Firefox no longer responds.

I am using Firefox 1.5.0.3 and VideoLAN 0.8.5 on WinXP SP2 all updates with the following hardware,

Laptop
Mobile Intel Celeron CPU 1333MHz
integrated Intel 82830M Graphics Controller
ESS Allegro PCI Audio

Is this with the VLC Plugin or VLC standalone?

It is the VLC plugin used with Firefox.

This seems like a possible firefox issue, I do know that firefox does not always tell plugins to close properly, I've seen it with flash, I've seen it with Acrobat, the memory is never released so it seems it is held open in the background. I'm guessing that here VLC is held open and is trying to draw on firefox and is 'fighting' with firefox for control. I wonder what would happen if you wait for the full length of the video to finish playing after pressing back, if it would unlock....
