This seems really similar to an issue I had recently. Depending on what<br>
version of Firefox you are using there is a known bug for version 3.0.1<br>
(maybe others?) and windowless mode SWF files. For me my browser would<br>
crash anytime I went to a site that had flash ads, such as<br>
<a href="http://wunderground.com" target="_blank">wunderground.com</a> or <a href="http://cnn.com" target="_blank">cnn.com</a>.<br>
<br>
I am not necessarily saying that your issue is the same but it might be<br>
worth an investigation. Basically in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg (create it if<br>
you don't have one) you set "WindowlessDisable = 1"<br>
<br>
Here is the page that talks about the bug:<br>
