Which version of flash do you have installed?

Does it crash with Flash 9.0 r31?

It works with just-installed flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.31.0.1
But I see no reason why firefox can crash because of any 3rd party module error.

Probably not a bug in Firefox then. I forgot to ask if you can provide a stack trace for the crash. You can either follow the instructions at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_a_stacktrace_with_gdb or install an official version of Firefox with Talkback enabled and provide a Talkback ID. I gather the old version of flash is now gone - you would of course need to reinstall it.

It can, and does. Bug 156493 tracks progress towards running plug-ins in a separate process.

I think this is more like a problem viewing flash pages using Firefox. My Firefox (and Epiphany browser which also uses Gecko) crashes a lot when browsing through flash-heavy sites like YouTube.com.

Operating System: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty)
Browser: Firefox 2.0.0.3
Plugin: flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.31 (Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31)

By the way, the same plugin works fine when using non-Gecko based browsers like Opera.

This bug is well discussed in the Ubuntu bug-tracking site (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/104470)
