Problems with Flash Plugin

[Christopher Beland]

Fabio,

If Firefox is working fine without the Flash plugin and not working with
it installed, then it is likely a bug in the plugin.  If this is the
proprietary Flash plugin from Adobe, the place to report it is:

https://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/

When you run Firefox below, is it only starting up a homepage tab, or is
it restoring a crashed session?  "acroread" is Adobe's PDF reader, and
I'm not sure why that is being looked for.  You may have other things
going on at the same time as the possible Flash issue, in which case
you'll need to experiment to tease the issues apart.

You may need a stack trace for the software vendor to diagnose a
segmentation fault caused by Flash; for instructions, see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces#Obtaining_stack_traces_from_Firefox

You can run "firefox -safe-mode" to get the application started without
any extensions, if that helps you diagnose or recover.  Recording the
exact version numbers of Firefox and the plugin where you see this
problem would be helpful, and if downgrading to a lower version fixes
it, that would also be good to note.

Sorry I'm not familiar with Arora, but the same principles apply.

-B.
