Can you please try to use gnash instead of libflash-mozplugin + libflash0c2 and see if it still crashes? also try to remove all flash and see if it crashes.

A try gnash and now its working without previous error, but ... :)
After some time, maybe after upgrading to firefox ver. 2.0.0.1, firefox time to time crash.
I think it's still problem with flash player, but I don't certain.

Symptoms before browser crash :
- it's freeze a moment
- a can see mouse pointer (cursor) with vertical line at left + horizonta line at down + plus sign at center (maybe default icon for resizing windows at left-down corner)
