Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Sooner or later during a Firefox session Flash animations stop working. Where the animation should be there is just a grey rectangle. When I look at the active task list, there is no npviewer.bin process running. Restarting Firefox gets everything working again properly.
