Firefox Unbuntu 11.10 64 bit SOLVED well sort of

[gerry]

Hi
Sorry for putting this into the Development list, I thought I had put in
the request list (finger trouble:-) ) but thanks to those who replied.

It solved. Well sort of

I installed Flash Aid and in that disabled  Linux HWVideo Decode and
that's seems to have reduced the number of crashes and the video reloads
without crashing Firefox. By the way Chrome tells me that it is Abode
Flash that has crashed 

It looks like an Adobe problem which will take some time to sort.


Regards

Gerry
