Thanks for pointing this out. Actually I usually don't really care about flash so I rarely bother installing the plugin. But installing this plugin solves the issue of Firefox hanging at most websites (this is really strange though, it shouldn't hang on lack of a plugin). Now I can go to nytimes.com at least. On the other hand the browser still hangs on gmail's inbox (this might be a programming issue, it happened before on Firefox 2...) but the thing that puzzles me the most is that it hangs when I try to open the preferences!
