   Did you remove the other failed attempts ? I would clear firefoxes cache remove the old attempts by rming them from the plugin directory, both the main firefox one and the one in your home directory, and then trying again with the last option. Is it all flash pages eg try nasas site. It may be that the one you are testing it on is borked of course. Crashes in firefox plugins are more often than not caused by plugins that should be symlinks and aren't or plugins that should be hardlinks and aren't, if that makes sense.
