Bonnie,
Thanks again. As I mentioned yesterday, removing 'nspluginwrapper'
fixed the problem. Interesting, however, is that with my x86_64 SL 5.5
only the i386 flash-plugin is installed and available via YUM. In the
spirit of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', I think I will leave it
that way.
Indeed, if it still works, that strikes me as strange, though.
I've installed working x86_64 version of flash-plugin from
thirdparty repository. This rpm goes from http://repoforge.org/
and looks like it's true x86_64 binary and .so files.
The details of the rpm are follow:

Thanks Tom,
I've tested and I'm able to reproduce the crash on x86_64 with:
* firefox.x86_64 0:10.0.10-1.el5_8
* flash-plugin-11.2.202.243-release.i386 or
flash-plugin-11.2.202.243-release.x86_64,
* nspluginwrapper installed
No segfault with flash-plugin-11.2.202.243-release.x86_64 without
nspluginwrapper, or with previous Firefox (10.0.8).

Thanks for the advice. Removing 'nspluginwrapper' looks like it fixed
the problem. The seqfaults seemed to be unique to the Google website,
and now Google is working. I assume SL installs the proper plugins as
part of Yum updates, so hopefully I have everything I need.

Hello,
*** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown
variable>) in NPN_GetValue()
[1] Segmentation fault firefox
[2007]cedar /home/rosmond:
I don't know what's causing the segfault (some plugin seems likely), but
the NSPlugin Viewer WARNING is seen with nspluginwrapper, which enables
you to use the 32-bit Flash plugin on 64-bit systems (necessary before
there was a 64-bit plugin).
If you use the flash plugin for your architecture and uninstall
nspluginwrapper, you won't see the warning. I'm not sure it's related
to your crash, since I see the message anywhere nspluginwrapper is
installed and it seems to be harmless.
In any case, there should be no need for nspluginwrapper if you have the
appropriate flash plugin installed.

I'm not a browser expert, so would appreciate any advice to correct the
problem. I could try to revert to the previous version, but would
prefer not to.
