I've been happily using google-chrome on F14 for some time, from baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
I've used this together with flash-plugin-10.2.159.1-release.i386
using nspluginwrapper.
I used to use google-chrome-unstable, but then one day, it started misbehaving. When quit, chrome would not restart. Or, it would, but no pages would load. I found that when quit, several processes were left running.
The only way to restart was to killall chrome (2 times!), then rm -rf ~/.config/google-chrome. Fortunately, chrome sync would reinstall all my plugins and pretty much restore everything.
Now the problem is, that the current google-chrome-stable is doing the same thing.
I have reason to believe it is actually using flash that is causing this problem.
Anyway, no more chrome for me (these experiments get a bit old after a while). Unless, someone knows a workaround? (besides, no flash)

Not sure. I've been running google-chrome-beta for a while now without any major issues. I'm not sure firefox will be much better. My kids play flash games online and frequently flash crashes but npviewer.bin or whatever stays active and sucking CPU cycles until I manually kill it.
I'm using 64bit flash and chrome with nspluginwrapper (64bit to 6464 wrapping) if it makes a difference.

I've avoided 64bit flash because it does not appear to be well-maintained or supported (still alpha I think, and no updates for long time)

The latest flash player square (r162) seems to work pretty well.

I wonder why you are using an additional flash-plugin when chrome has flash support already built into it without the need to have a flash plugin package installed?

I've heard that before but if I remove the flash plugin it doesn't work. Also, if I inspect about:plugins it is using the one installed in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins as chrome doesn't used the wrapped one.

By the way I basically used the recipe at http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-google-chrome-with-yum-on... to set up the google repo and then yum installed google-chrome-stable - I never installed any additional flash plugin, and have never had a problem displaying flash content.
I have another machine which has been running google-chrome-beta for a long time - again without issue.
It is possible that some extensions may cause problems so that is worth checking too.

There is no builtin flash on linux. What does about:plugins say?

Good news! With a little help from gdb, I may have fixed my chrome problem. Nothing to do with flash. I removed all the gecko* and xine plugins (which I never used/wanted anyway).
