Bug Description

Running Firefox with flashplugin-nonfree on www.legavenue.com gives an error message like: "Express install not support by this version of Flash" which sometimes also causes the browser the crash.

Running Firefox through sudo is more telling.

dan@ubuntu:~$ sudo firefox
Password:
You should really not run firefox through sudo WITHOUT the -H option.
Anyway, I'll do as if you did use the -H option.
