[Bug 99163] Re: Firefox crashes in Feisty every time when typing something into Google search bar

[b]This post could be related to an Ubuntu bug filed at[/b]: [url]https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/99163[/url] [br].[/br] ---------------------------- [br].[/br] [br].[/br]
				[B]apt-get remove --purge libflash0c2 libflash-mozplugin[/B]

This worked for me and I still have flash functionality and flashblock
running. I was already at 24bit color and cannot comment on that.

I did not however make any changes to "firefoxrc" or any other files.

:-)

I had just completed upgrading from Dapper to Edgy and then immediately
from Edgy to Feisty. (Seamlessly I might add) when I found that firefox
would crash immediately upon loading gmail. After reading this thread
and a few others, I wondered if it was indeed related to Flash at all
and decided to test.

Using:

[CODE]apt-show-versions | grep flash[/CODE]

I found only two...so I removed them:

[CODE]apt-get remove --purge libflash0c2 libflash-mozplugin[/CODE]

I then opened firefox and gmail without any issues....oddly, I noticed
that "flashblock" had loaded over an ad. Upon clicking it, I was shocked
to find that I still had flash functionality.

Since everything is working fine, I have not investigated any further
regarding why.

YMMV...Enjoy.
