I have noticed the problem since atleast 2months. The crash after loading a page containing flash is occasional but if user does any interaction with the flash (right click, click control buttons, etc.) Firefox crashes when the user tries to do *any* other action e.g. change to different tab, close tab, etc. I checked with a new profile and the problem is not there in my current profile. I tried with both flashplugin-nonfree and flashplayer-mozilla and the results are the same: crash. However, checking for the existence of the problem with a vanilla Firefox 1.5 (mozilla.org version) and the same plugins does not result in a crash. Hence it seems that the problem is with some firefox patch applied by debian.
