Hello,
Needless to say, annoying. I'm running Arch x86_64 with 8 GB memory and Intel i5-5200U 2.20 GHz using the GNOME DE - everything's up to date. When GNOME Web with proprietary Flash, as well as open-source alternatives, is used to view certain sites that are using Flash content , everything freezes up - No user requests are handled and nothing is responsive. When the system finally manages to process a request to close the browser and/or the tab and everything returns to normal, I find that swap space has been loaded (about 1.5 GiB, if I recall the latest incident) with mystery data. I can confirm that the web browsers Firefox & Chromium are able to handle the sites just fine.
What could be the problem here? I presume that it must be something related to GNOME Web since other browsers are not experiencing any issues.
[UPDATE 9/14/2015]
I can confirm that Midori handles everything well. I suspect this issue is specific to Epiphany.

Let me also provide the information that GNOME Web using PPAPI Flash with freshplayerplugin is no different.

Any thoughts, anyone? Output of Epiphany doesn't seem to be unusual.

Just had another go: Huge memory leak occurred - memory and swap appeared to have been completely taken up. Considering reporting this as a bug.

I was able to replicate on an Intel i7-920 2.67 GHz with 8 GB memory, also running Arch x86_64 with GNOME DE. Obvious bug is obvious?

Website that elicits this event is NickJr.com. Interested to see if others experience similar results.

I get absolutely terrible performance on AUR firefox-developer, with latest flashplugin. Cleared GC, CC and minimized memory usage of firefox before opening the link, and I have ~1100Mo of supplementary ram usage.
I don't have any swap, and it wouldn't matter since I'm on a SSD, but I think this is more due to a really terribly badly designed """"website"""" than anything else.

Possibly due to the website. I'm interested in the results you might get with Epiphany.

I get a huge memory leak too, all my 16GB of ram are filled up, 2 of the 8 cores are used at 100%, and computer totally irresponsive for 10 seconds before the browser crashes.
Clean install of epiphany.

Epiphany obviously doesn't handle the goings-on well. Firefox & Chromium on the other hand are at least capable of loading everything (in my case, both, in particular Chromium, display fine performance, although I haven't checked memory usage).

@CelticSpice please edit your previous post to add information instead of creating new post for every small detail, bumping is also not allowed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … te#Bumping
I clearly remember chromium-pepper-flash with fresplayerplugin used to work on chromium, but apparently now I'm experiencing the same issue at least on adobe's flash test page.
You should test if this happens with other webkitgtk based browsers (even though every other browser on repos apparently uses older version of the webkitgtk library), or is it just epiphany that's effected.
Also you could test if this also happens with development version of epiphany and webkit (although that may not be an easy task), or just wait a couple of weeks for them to get released.

I apologize for bumping. It shall not happen again. How much information would warrant a new post?
I'll carry out your suggestions as soon as possible and share the results.
