How to debug IE7 silent crashes

Experiencing a problem where a page randomly crashes in Internet Explorer 7 with no warning.

Work-in-progress blog posting, but found this so far: http://groups.google.com/group/IEToolbar-Group-Bugs/msg/fd808abaa72524ea?pli=1.

The crash report requires more Googling it seems:

Access violation – code c0000005 (first chance) eax=00000000 ebx=00000001 ecx=00000000 edx=00000007 esi=00219ec8 edi=00000000

Android Flash player version weirdness

If I visit playerversion.com in my HTC Desire Z’s Froyo browser it tells me I’m running “FL 10,1,123,425″, but when I navigate to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Adobe Flash Player 10.1 it tells me it’s version “10.1.92.10″.

I’m still relatively new to Android so this isn’t making immediate sense to me; either playerversion.com‘s JS need adjusting or there are two versions of the Flash player on my Android device. Or something else?!?

Edit: Adobe’s own version test page mirrors playerversion.com‘s findings. cisnky suggested trying a pure Flash-based version detection method, which’ll be my next move.

Edit 2: This Flash-based test mirrors the above; that the minor version I’m running is “123″.

Hide extension == stupid

I thought it was only Windows which offered to hide file extensions, but I’ve just tried to download a JavaScript file off the net via Safari 4.0.4 and it hides the extension by default seemingly. I hate that; why would anyone ever want to be in the dark over what type of file they’re working with?

Grrrr >:(
