Flash crashes while debugger is paused

This behavior is unacceptable. There is a timeout setting that allows this kind of crash to be postponed indefinitely, but that's not the desired behavior.

After the timeout, Firefox asks if I want to allow the plugin to continue running or stop it. It has a check box labeled "Don't ask me again". I don't think this is correctly functioning, because the expected behavior when checking "Don't ask me again", would be for it to timeout and crash. The problem I have is that when I do NOT check "Don't ask me again", and click continue, I expect it to ask me again once the timeout period elapses, but instead of asking me again, it just crashes without asking me again. That does not seem right.

I do not want to disable or extend the timeout. I am fine with it asking me every so often whether I want to allow the plugin to continue or stop it. But unless I check "don't ask me again", it should continue to ask me if I want to allow it to continue or stop it. It should NEVER just close abruptly, unless I check "don't ask me again".

Is this a plugin or an extension? The original Venkman javascript debugger was an extension and it is no longer supported in Firefox. A suggested replacement for it is Tiny Javascript Debugger, which is available from the Mozilla addons site.

You can set the dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs pref to to -1 on the about:config page to disable the timeout.
