Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

hi,
on firefox i click the help>report problem
to send this question,
few days ago firefox was updated on my laptop,
then i noticed after the update, i can no longer view news video on line and
i could no longer play games on miniclip.com and other websites where i used to play.
when i try to click "play" the page closes i.e the whole google/web page and all i see is my
screen background, then i have to restart firefox again..
i lost the games and news and some movie trailers i watch/see
what is left on firefox to see is the porn sites.
if i go to porn site, firefox will not shut down, if i go to miniclip.com. it won't play..
any idea ?
thanks

hi john ?
file again ? you mean click again the "help" on firefox ?
ok, but right now ,
i can again watch news on-line and play games on internet..miniclip.com, y8.com, and other free internet games...

the solution i did seems to work, but not sure if that is the correct way.
i uninstall adobe flash plugins from "ubuntu software center" and google toolbar..
waited for couple of days then download again "adobe flash player directly form adobe website..
then i click the options to "check adobe version installed"
after the version check,, everything seems to work again..
then i downloaded the google toolbar 7.5xxx version and i noticed the buttons on google toolbar seems to affect the search and stability of the google page/homepage..
but then again, after few days when i opened my computer, everything is working...
very happy now !
thank you so much
