do you still crash when upgrading to Flash 6
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/special/beta/

If yes, were you playing sound while loading site, running Mozilla on a remote
display ?

Unable to reproduce with fresh CVS build - and Flash 5.0r50 or latest 6.0 beta
build, with or without sound in use (using any combination of artsd, esd and
XMMS's OSS driver plugins to tie up the sound device)

Got e-mail from Regis: "Everything is fine after upgraded Flash as you
suggested.  I should have realized this was a Flash problem, and not a
Mozilla problem."
Regis, no worries, Flash 6 fixed a lot of crashers, eventhough they were Flash
issue, Mozilla shouldn't crash when a plug-in crashes, bug 156493.

Marking WFM as per reporter comments.
