Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I'm adding a new bug since no other one with similar description is opened. I will try to reproduce what I did after I have written this report.

This first time FF crashed when visiting hd.se/live + having ABP installed + flashblock. After I pressed the > on flashblock FF got grey then crashed.

I was able to reproduce the crash.

1. Install & activate ABP + flashblock.
2. Visit hd.se/live
3. Click the >-symbol that flashblock produces.
4. Observe there is no flash object visible.
5. Right-click where the flash object should have been visible.
6. Crash.

I am able to reproduce it all the time but if I disable ABP and flashblock it is not reproducible.
