After doing this I lost all sound when playing videos.  Seems to help 
though in terms of Firefox crashing.

I've heard about this bug only affecting certain people.  I don't 
believe I have any flash block scripts?  If I do I don't know about it.

I am using the adobe flash support.  In the repo's there is another 
package for this called swfdec.  Does anyone have better results with 
this?  If they are both installed they will compete with each other and 
your flash videos won't play at all fyi.  I haven't tried using swfdec 
in a while.
