Consider: http://tinyurl.com/3rwvdu

In short, install nspluginwrapper, libflashsupport and re-install
flashplugin-nonfree (apt-get remove --purge then install again).

This fixed flash plugin related browser crashes in FF3+U8.04 on my
i386 system. Dunno whether it will help with x86.

Hi Philip, my ff3 hasn't crashed, but i can't seem to connect to the
content.  it just hangs at Selecting optimal video for your
connection... but nothing else happens.   have you tried other flash
sites?  perhaps one of the toons on www.weebls-stuff.com

Philip  I've just tried to play a video on the page you give the URL 
for, using Ubuntu 7.10 + FF2, and Ubuntu 8.04 with FF2 and FF3.

It plays (video and sound) for about a minute with 7.10 + FF2.  Then it 
stops, as if buffering, but it has actually hung and does not restart.

I could hear the sound for under a minute in 8.04 + FF3, but no video. 
FF3 then simply terminated.

My media stuff is set up (apologies to RMS, though!) according to the 
excellent HowTo at

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683

Using this configuration, I have been able to play all types of media 
and streams without any difficulty - apart from the URL you sent.  This 
leads me to be suspicious about the stream you're trying to use.
