[Bug 69687] JavaScript Causes Firefox 2.0 to Crash in Ubuntu (edgy)

[warrendt]

Public bug reported:

Whenever I access a site that uses javascript, Firefox crashes. 
I disable javascript (which renders most sites unusable) the browser does not 
crash. 
I have a collegue that uses the same version and same release of ubuntu and it 
works fine. 
I upgraded from Dapper (LTS) and I have tried reinstalling firefox and all its 
dependancies. 
I use a browser like opera or epiphany and javascript works fine. 
I have reinstalled java as well. 

GMail.com after logging on crashes the browser everytime.

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)

Problem solved.

Dont know how the two were related but it was flash causing the browser to 
crash. 
Even when not a flash website. Looking in the plugins directory caused it to 
crash. 
There is a fix on the ubuntu forums page. Search for "flash crash" and there is 
a line to put in the flashrc file.
