Re: Firefox and Flash

Have you tried using the flash plugin from the marillat repository - flashplayer-mozilla? I haven't had any trouble with it (running firefox 1.5 on sarge backported from sid).

I have this problem too. It's with just about any plugin: flash-nonfree,
mozilla-mplayer, and the sun Java plugin from the 1.5.0 SDK. I am convinced
that firefox is doing something wrong -- I can confirm that this happens to me
with 1.0.7 (from testing) and 1.5 (backported from sid). I does not happen
with 1.0.4.

Sometimes it happens with mozilla but this is *extremely* rare.  I would
estimate that Firefox stands a 2/3 chance of freezing when initializing or
unloading any plugin.  Mozilla's probability is around 1/20.
