It is quite unfortunate, however, that this beta version (9.0.60.120) is a serious regression. None of the actual sites I tested worked (homestarrunner, missyhiggins.com). This would be a very, very unfortunate upload.

I have tested it myself and I have to agree with you. It is very buggy and crashes on almost any website. The some of the items on the context menu don't do anything, while others will crash the browser. I have submitted a bug report to adobe. Hopefully they will get this fixed.

we won't update our flashplugin as this beta has serious regressions and appears not to be in a releasable state.
