Found this in another forum: The recommendation was to run an add-on called FLASH-AID (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161939/)
The add on runs the following script. I ran this, re-installed flash and now have it working!!!! Based on this code, the crashing may have been a conflict with any locally stored ($HOME/.mozilla/plugins) .so files. Can someone confirm this. #!/bin/bash echo "Please wait...DON'T CLOSE THIS TERMINAL!" sudo apt-get --yes purge swfdec-mozilla sudo apt-get --yes purge mozilla-plugin-gnash sudo apt-get --yes purge adobe-flashplugin sudo apt-get --yes purge flashplugin-nonfree sudo apt-get --yes purge flashplugin-installer rm -f $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*so sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so rm -rf $HOME/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/Macromed/Flash echo -n "Finished! You can close this terminal. You must restart Firefox now." && read -- After upgrading to firefox 3.6.6 flash plugin crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
