OK. On Ubuntu, it seems another two additional operation is needed to activate the npwrapper for flashplugin (I'm new to Ubuntu/Debian, so I'm not sure this is a proper way though).

$ sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
$ cd /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins
$ sudo rm flashplugin-alternative.so
$ cd /usr/share/ubufox/plugins
$ sudo rm libflashplayer.so

Then restart Firefox and check whether wrapper is working.

I tested Ubuntu 9.10 on VMWare, and both of my two workaround seems to prevent Firefox crashing.
