Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Crashed at start of a YouTube video.
Firefox 3 crashes a lot while using flash plugin.
This is just the first time a report was generated.

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04

apt-cache policy firefox-3.0
firefox-3.0:
  Installed: 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 0

According to what I read on Hardy development forum flash being troublesome in FF3 is a widespread and well-known problem.

The frequency varies a lot. Sometimes I can watch a dozen flash videos in a row - other times every other video goes down.
Some videos seem more likely to cause this than others - but most videos that crash can be watched after restart.
