I have been using Flash 9 for weeks, with the first 2 beta and now the
final, with Firefox in Dapper, Edgy, and now Feisty, and I can't
remember having one single crash due to flash.  And I use it quite
regularly (i.e, daily) on various online sites.

So I'm not experiencing the type of crashes you are seeing.    I
wonder what makes some people seeing these crashes, and not others.
And being a close source plugin, I suspect we'll never know...
