+ =================
+ Update 13/8/08: Including a more useful description.
+ 
+ The crashes experienced in this bug are caused by Firefox 3 (really
+ xulrunner-1.9) which has buggy "windowless mode" support. Adobe Flash 10
+ (since beta 2) and recent versions of swfdec are the first plugins to
+ make use of "windowless mode", and attempting to visit flash-enabled
+ sites that use "windowless mode" will cause an immediate segmentation
+ fault when rendering wmode flash content on the page. See:
+ http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/07/addessing_wmode_crashes.html
+ 
+ This issue is has been fixed upstream and due for release in xulrunner
+ 1.9.0.2, and Felix Geyer has successfully patched Hardy's xulrunner
+ 1.9.0.1 for testing purposes. You can check these packages at:
+ http://ppa.launchpad.net/sniperbeamer/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xulrunner-1.9/
+ 
+ It is important to be aware of this issue in xulrunner-1.9 to avoid the
+ inevitable confusion with bug #192888. This bug is a separate issue, and
+ many users will encounter this bug as a side-effect of upgrading to
+ Flash 10, which is necessary to fix bug #192888.
