Bug Description
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
Upgraded the following packages:
flashplugin-nonfree (9.0.124.0ubuntu2) to 10.0.1.
Ubuntu 8.04.1
Kernel 2.6.24-19-generic
Get immediate crash at this address: www.euronews.net Page won't even load. Firefox just goes down.
Had no problems with Flash or Firefox up to this point. The above page is a favorite spot I visited often.
After reading the notes on the update, I decided to file a separate bug report. Perhaps the older plugin should be made available in the repository? Until this problem straightens out?

I can confirm this one, Firefox has just begun to close itself randomly (well, when browsing websites including Flash) after that update.
