Yes, I still get the crash. Uninstalling flashplayer-non-free and installing
gnash and the mozilla-plugin makes Firefox crash (including crashing Xorg)
when I try to open a video on the MSNBC page, or even before that, on the
MSN.COM page - possibly because of a Flash ad.

No, there is is no crash report in /var/crash.

There was a crash report about the notification-daemon crash due to a SIGSEV
problem. I deleted that and tried the gnash-crash again; again there is no
new crash report.

I left gnash installed and removed the mozilla-plugin, then checked the
behavior:- no crash, but of course no video. I reinstalled
flashplayer-nonfree and got the video back, so the crash does not happen
unless the gnash mozilla-plugin is installed.

Hope that helps....
