Caused by not restarting browser after updates.

I too have this issue with Hardy 64 bit and with all versions of firefox (now I'm with firefox 3.0.13). The problem is not related to restarting browser after updates but it seems related (from my experience) with 64 bit distros and flash plugin (one of my friend with Jaunty 64 bit has the same problem).
Nedim Muminović can you confirm that your issue is related to 8.04 64 bit?

I re-opened the bug because of it's not related to restarting browser after updates, as I described in my previous post.

Please dont demote it back to new but to incomplete as it has some info but we need more, I doubt your problem is the same. 64bit most likley is caused by flash not firefox.
Please post the output of the following command:
apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree

John, I demoted it back to new (from invalid) because of you didn't ask any question (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status) to triage the bug (the bug was just in "invalid" status). Now I find correct set it to "Incomplete" because you are waiting for additional info.

However:

$> apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
flashplugin-nonfree:

Often the problem is fixed simply cleaning the cache but not always this works
