The Citi.com credit card website allows generating virtual card numbers, but unfortunately
they're using flash in that part of the site. When I try to use it in F30, on one
particular machine (it's hardware-specific), in GNOME (it doesn't happen in MATE),
the Firefox tab crashes and I get a general protection fault, for example
[88812.835817] traps: Web Content[2532] general protection fault ip:7f94ee0d0adb
sp:7ffedd6a3140 error:0 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f94ee0aa000+8e000]
Since flash is involved, it's not clear whether this is the fault of Fedora or flash.
This has been happening for around half a year, so flash has been updated several times.
It also happened with F29. Anyone know how to narrow down where the issue is?

It doesn't show up in abrt? It sounds like it's a combination of things
which makes it very difficult to isolate.
Actually, it does show up in abrt, which says that the problem has been reported, but a
Bugzilla ticket has not been opened. I just tried reporting it by uploading a core dump,
but there was a server-side error. I'm not happy about either the security risks
associated with uploading the core dump, or the alternative of installing a huge number of
debuginfo packages, so for now I'll just work around it. I suppose I could file a bug
against libX11 which owns /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6.3.0 and see what happens, but they would
probably require the same information.
Just found that it only crashes under standard GNOME (with Wayland). Works under GNOME
with Xorg.

This sounds like the same issue discussed on the devel list
recently:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.o...
Later in that thread there is a link to a Chromium bug report:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=949312
A fix should be in Chrome 75 which, I believe, has now been
released (I saw one of my systems update to that version
last night).
With luck, you've hit the same issue and it'll be fixed with
the Chrome 75 update.
(That shouldn't let Citi off the hook for running a banking
site and requiring Flash. :/ )

Not sure it's the same. I'm using Firefox, not flash. This particular application
is the only place I've had a problem with flash content.

Oops, sorry. I clearly didn't read carefully enough to see
you mentioned this was with Firefox.

Just a followup, I noticed recently that the crash no longer happens. I can now use this
feature in Gnome on Wayland (where it previously crashed). I don't know if it was
fixed on my end or theirs. They are still using Flash.
