Thanks for your bug report. Could you please install firefox-dbg and try to obtain a backtrace (or crash report) by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingFirefox This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

Which flash package do you have installed?
Which Java package do you have installed?
Which firefox extensions do you have installed?

Thanks
David

Sorry for late answer.

As per my Opinion the main reason for crashes while trying to open sites
with SWF-files is, that Adobes "Macromedia Install-Flashplayer" will not
support the "x86_64"-architecture.
I tried to install this plugin from the Adobe website and got the
appropriate error message.
I never had problems with files like these with Firefox-versions up to
1.5___.
May be, that also the mozilla-gnome support will not work properly,
because , when running SUSE 10.1 (x86_64-version) with Firefox-version
2.__ in KDE, SWF-files will be displayed properly including sound and
animation and all the stuff that belong to such files.
For testing purposes you may try the following site "www.bachpacks.com".

best regards

Reinhard Kathmann

Have you tried using the Flash 9 beta? That might help you fix your flash.

I'm a Newbie, running Bianca Light, It's in hda2 with a non-booting Win XP Pro in hda1 from which I'm anxious to retrieve data, Learning the jargon of Linux is tricky.

I have just opened a link to YouTube, where there was a notice:
Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.
I clicked that - soon Synaptic Package Manager opened, then Firefox crashed.
This happened twice. Report attached.

I have an underlying problem in Synaptic PM - it ran last night for several hours trying to install virtualbox (only about 11.3 MB) and ultimately I Quit - there was a warning message. Today I have tried to use it twice - once it gave me a command line to run, but I lost that, next time it said:
E: The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.

Will this serve as a report? [hda1 has Drive Letter E: in Windows].
