Firefox3 crashes frequently with flash-nonfree in use

[Derick Eisenhardt]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I have Firefox crash on me multiple times a day now, when flash is involved. More specifically it seems to be when flash video (youtube, hulu, etc) is involved. Hopefully whatever info apport collected for this bug report will be useful to you, but if you need anything else...just let me know.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report didn't yield the required information. Please go ahead and submit a new crash report if it crashed again with the latest available package. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

I think I've actually resolved the issue as to be involving the Flashblock plugin somehow. As soon as I disabled it, the crashing seemed to stop...
