Bug Description
Binary package hint: seamonkey
Upgrading from Hardy 8.04 to Intrepid 8.10 (x86-64) has fixed the problem with npviewer causing Seamonkey to hang (it would eventually recover if left for a few minutes). However, now the flash player initially works for a while, then disappears so that the page element containing a flash entity is a blank space. Restarting Seamonkey restores flash until it fails again after a while. This bug is very irritating. Seamonkey version details follow.
