When I installed the latest version of flashplayer plugin (9.0) installed, firefox crashes every time I go to website with flash. I had flash-block enabled. I un-installed flash-block but that did not help either. I tried both the rpm and tarred version of the flash-block from the Adobe site. The only option was to remove the plugin from /opt/firefox/plugins.

I'm seeing no problems with Mozilla seamonkey 1.1.9 32-bit nor
Konqueror 3.5.7 (64-bit)
