Build Identifier: 3.6.4pre

Firefox 3.6.4pre (Lorentz) had come across a problem with playing flash videos and when visiting a site with flash content: the page will freeze and become unresponsive. Flash plugin/ Java Plugin are update to date, but when checking updates online Java version remain undetected. This event occurs after an update from the daily builder, previously flash video perform fine however after yesterday's update; the browsers is unable to view flash content nor play them. There're minor modification to the config setting(about:config) and Out Of Process Plugin aren't the culprit for this behavior. Enable/Disable remain the same effect as usual. Changing profiles is futile as well and for a minor note; my Operating System is Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). Also whenever updating my softwares, the manager will update firefox numerous times and the xulrunner, a bit surreal for its the same version all over again. I removed the duplicate package with the command "autoclean".

Reproducible: Always

Where is this version provided?  It may be worth reporting this to the providers.

Does the whole browser freeze (or just what is in the page)?
This is very likely a dup of bug 542053. Alex, if you export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/xulrunner-libs does the app work correctly?
Karl Tomlinson, to your response the version is installed by my Linux Update System since I have attain a repository for the daily build. Yes the browser itself completely freezes and to exit, you'll need to Force Quit the application. 

Benjamin Smedberg, could you please provide the steps of exporting files to your given path?
