Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Recently, my Firefox started to crash in an "alpha" manner rather than stable product. I tried using a new profile but it's still the same. It happens on some particular sites, for example on gmail.com (after logging in - a few seconds and I get a segmentation fault).

The problem is obviously Flash-related.

This seems to be Flash-related. Anyone has access to older versions of 64-bit Flash? I can't find them at Adobe site.

It just happened again with newest Flash. It is very, very buggy... :/
