I think a temporary solution can be found in this bug page...

1. Run firefox and watch a flash movie (e.g. youtube)
2. Open a new firefox window and browse as usual

Firefox hangs when closing a page with flash running
I seem to have fixed the hanging problem by using the older kernel
instead of the one that comes with Feisty. In the boot menu, select
kernel 2.6.15-27-386 instead of 2.6-20-15-386 and firefox will not hang
while browsing pages with flash media (like YouTube).
Now, does this mean the bug is with
It's either we make Adobe fix its plugin or fix Firefox to handle
defective plugins better (instead of just hanging). I say we do both
with a little more weight on the latter.

Doing an strace on the firefox process after it hangs will always give
you this...
| $ strace -p 6688
| Process 6688 attached - interrupt to quit
| futex(0xac041bd8, FUTEX_WAIT, 6710, NULL
I'm guessing process 6710 is the flash process/thread. So it must be
that the flash process hanged and
I've had this problem even with Edgy although it must be because I
already downloaded the latest flash library (9.0) even when the one that
came with Edgy was version 7.0

This still happens on my Ubuntu 7.04 running Firefox 2.0.0.3 using
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31. This can get VERY irritating. I tried all those
ARGB fixes and color depth fixes but it still doesn't work.

Flash plugin problem with ARGB visuals causes crash

I can confirm this error.
os: feisty (Ubuntu 7.04)
browser: firefox 2.0.0.3 (Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3)
plugin: flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.31 (Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31)
I think this is not a problem with flashplugin-nonfree because the same
plugin works fine in Opera. I think it affects Firefox and
I think some people have already raised this bug in Bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378400). Although I can
open the page (flash) described in that bug report, all the symptoms
look the same. Firefox hanging when browsing Flash pages.
** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla
In my case. it's not a crash but a hang. I'd have to kill the process
manually before I can start a new instance of firefox.

I tried doing an strace (strace -p 32499) on the firefox process, here
are the last few lines before it hanged.
| shmdt(0xa8fe1000) = 0
| shmctl(1075937401, IPC_64|IPC_STAT, 0xbfa56e0c) = 0

Same problem here. I am using Ubuntu 7.04, Firefox 2.0.0.3, Flash 9.0
r31 on a Sony Vaio. Seems to be a problem with Firefox because it
doesn't happen when using the same Flash plug-in on Opera.
