[mdlug] Latest version of flash player crashes firefox

[R. Kannan]

I have tried both 9.0.124.0  and 9.0.48.0 versions of flashplayer plugin on FF 2.0.0.14. I reverted back to flashplayer 7 :-(

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.
