Thanks Alexander, I have run firefox in safe mode and everything seemed fine. Indeed visiting tiipsi.com and wordpress.com brought up prompts to install the Adobe flashplayer. I have finally managed to root out the shockwave flash player from the .mozilla/plugins directory (I was looking originally in mozilla-firefox/plugins), and when I get a chance later I'll try installing Adobe flash version 9. Touching wood of course :P
Thanks very much for your help, I'll post again to let you know how that works. -- (edgy) firefox crashes when visiting www.tiipsi.com https://launchpad.net/bugs/84161 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
