This is not a bug report or a rant, just a comment or informational post. I installed adobe flashplayer and the required nspluginwrapper and while I can view all web pages just fine, sometimes the sites with videos on them will crash, especially youtube sites after about 3 or 4 plays. It was working for hours with firefox 2.0.0.9 but 2.0.0.10 crashes like every 5 min.

I finally got rid of the buggy flash player and installed gnash player which works fine and doesn't crash firefox! The only problem is it won't play myspace videos. I suppose the svn version might, and I'll try that later. I'm not sure what I'm doing with this post other than relating my experiences. Perhaps I should send a bug report to adobe. Maybe I'm recruiting for help with the gnash project...

It could be nspluginwrapper issue since the plugin is interfacing through the other plugin. You might try this. Use the 32 bit version of Firefox and would not need the nspluginwrapper extra. See if it still crashes.

I agree, it could be just that plugin since I haven't had any problems with flashplayer 9 under firefox, still doesn't make flash itself any better though. (Thats my swipe against flash for the day)

I don't use the plugin, but I have the problem, especially on video playing sites like YouTube. And it's quite widespread if you research it on the Internet.

I haven't experienced this problem at all. YouTube and other stuff plays just fine for me.

Adobe has released an updated flash player yesterday that works fine for the most part.

I had the same problem with firefox and youtube, but I thought that it was something I had done (or was doing) wrong!
I installed firefox 3 a couple of days ago, and the problem is (apparently) fixed. On top of that, the plugins install automatically, without having to do it manually.

sometime it comes to a point of making me think why do i need to upgrade my browser and plugins so oftently in linux ...
