If you read my original bug report, you'd know that I'm filing this bug because Ubuntu notified me of a crash in Firefox. That is, it notified me at startup of my system, so I don't have any idea which particular Firefox crash it is referring to.

If there is anything I can do to make future crash reports more useful (eg install symbols or somethng like that), I'd be more than happy to do so. However; if the crash report feature that comes with Ubuntu is useless for Firefox, I suggest you file a bug against Ubuntu to disable this particular feature for Firefox.

Frederik.

Hello Frederik, and sorry for this very late response,

The crash you reported seems that was caused by adobe's flash plugin which we can do anything about it, since it is closed source. You might want to report it upstream directly.

Notice that you are not using ubuntu's packaged flash plugin (package flashplugin-nonfree) I recommend you to migrate to the packaged version. It might not prevent those crashes, but the plugin will be always up-to-date by apt the way the other apps are.
