firefox-bin crashed with SIGSEGV in glXMakeCurrentReadSGI() - flash is cause

[Roger]

Binary package hint: adobe-flashplugin

32bit Lucid A3 with updates, both full install and in VirtualBox
adobe-flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1karmic2
firefox 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu5

Expected behaviour

When visiting page...
http://www.foxtons.co.uk/search?bedrooms_from=0&property_id=690729&resource=large_floorplan&search_form=keyword&search_type=SS&submit_type=search
...in Firefox, the flash plugin correctly displays the interactive floorplan

Actual behaviour

Firefox terminates with readout...
roger@roger-laptop:~$ firefox -safe-mode
(firefox-bin:1583): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_set_valist: construct property "disable-client-side-decorations" for object `GtkPlug' can't be set after construction
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
roger@roger-laptop:~$

The flash plugin also crashes in Chromium, but in this case the browser does not terminate

more info - these same steps also crash chromium, with output -

roger@roger-laptop:~$ chromium-browser

...and opera, with output -

opera: Plug-in 3596 is not responding. It will be closed.
opera: Define environment variable OPERA_KEEP_BLOCKED_PLUGIN to keep blocked plug-ins.
roger@roger-laptop:~$

of the three browsers, chromium is the only one that somehow isolates the plugin and remains functional. firefox terminates and opera freezes

reports on forums suggest 64bit is not affected
