Works for me in Firefox 1.0.4
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Firefox/1.0.4

Is it related to the Flasg objects ?

Sorry, no idea. How would I check this?

What flash version are you using (type about:plugins in the url bar to see)?
Also, does this crash only when visiting this website, or all websites with flash?

    File name: libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r25

It only happens with this site so far. Other sites are fine. To be honest, I
didn't recall there being Flash on the site.

The browser doesn't throw up the feedback window when it crashes, so how do I do
this without it?

You could use the manual installation method of Firefox, there you can choose to
install the Quality Feedback Agent aka Talkback (in normal installation mode
Talkback is only installed in roughly every 5th install, otherwise the Talkback
server would be too overloaded :).

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I'm still seeing this bug.

Go to http://www.theinquirer.net/ and the browser immediately crashes.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.0.7 (Ubuntu package 1.0.7)

The only extensions I have are: (1) Flashblock (2) Sessionsaver.  Note
that I don't have flashplayer installed (there isn't a version for AMD64).

Can someone reopen this bug?  I can't work out how to do that ...
