Since there doesn't seem to be a policy defined anywhere on how to deal with regressions in backports, I figured it wouldn't hurt to send an e-mail to ubuntu-devel to help ensure the proper folks can take action.The recent flashplugin-nonfree backport causes Firefox to become unstable as the plugin is causing a crash when users visit a number of popular websites that take advantage of the technology. This renders some websites competely inaccessible and users who frequent primarily websites that use flash may find their ability to do so almost completely crippled although due to the popularity of flash ads, banners, and widgets, almost all users will experience frequent crashes regardless of their browsing habits. The master bug report can be found at <a href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/247682">https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/247682</a> Anyhow, I suppose the first step is blocking the update and getting a fix out. After, we can look at how this happened and what we need to do to reduce the risk of something similiar occuring again. Cheers, -- Cody A.W.
