Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I don't know if this is more appropriate to post here, but browsing with either flash 9 or flash 10 causes firefox to occasionally either vanish with a segfault or lock hard. I have attached a debug log/backtrace to help diagnose.

On a related note, a lot of the bug-posting tutorial doesn't match up with firefox3.0 (specifically the *-dbg packages), so I didn't know how to provide a lot of the other information that was asked for. If there's something else that's needed, I can provide it though.

apt-cache amelo@amelo-laptop:~$ apt-cache policy firefox

I would like to add that I also am having a similar issue. Occasionally my 8.10 install locks hard while watching a Flash video. System log shows:
