[Bug 84844] firefox freezes in feisty herd 3

[jens_acamedia]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

i know theres a few of these bugs. but ill let somebody else decide if
this is a dup since im not quite sure.

ive spent the last hour trying to make this bug reproducible but its damn difficult. i can get youtube to crash maybe every 5 times or so. what i do is i go to a video and watch it. then some time during its playing ill hit the back or home button. this will make firefox unresponsive and ill have to force quit it. i use beryl but otherwise no extensions or anything in firefox.
of course i use flashplugin-nonfree and im all updated as of today.

i started firefox from the terminal and managed to make it freeze. the
result was this:

jens at bigboy:~$ firefox
