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>

</blockquote></div><br></div></div>Thanks Joey. I'll give it a try when I get home today.<br>
</blockquote></div><br></div></div>I didn't find that file on my system. I then went to #fedora to ask and they lead me to this site, <a href="http://fedorasolved.org/browser-solutions/flash/?searchterm=flash" target="_blank">http://fedorasolved.org/browser-solutions/flash/?searchterm=flash</a>. As of date I haven't fixed the problem yet and I'm even more confused now than ever. All of this crashing happened after I installed "libflashsupport.i386". Damn, I wish I didn't. Is there a way to go back to status quo? I already removed libflashsupport - how about my firefox config files? Thanks.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>So; just to give an update. I removed "flash-player" through my package manager (flash version 10) and then installed it again. My firefox still crashes, but it seems to crash only after I leave a site that flash was playing on. Before; it would crash after playing 1 flash movie - now (for example: YouTube) I can watch multiple flash movies, but if I go to another web site it'll crash.<br>
<br>Is there a way to reset this craziness. I've already uninstalled "libflashsupport", but that's where it all started going south! Thanks for any help.<br>
