[Bug 98688] Re: Firefox hangs when closing a page with flash running

[diafygi]

I am having this problem too. Has anyone found a HOWTO fix yet? Mine bug
happens when I go back or Home or to a bookmark or close the window
(haven't tried anything with tabs yet) in which I've been watching a
flash video (youtube, veoh, etc.). I've found that when the window goes
to grayscale (black and white), you can still click on the "X" at the
top right to close the window. It asks you to "Force Quit," and I do.
Then, when I open firefox again, it asks me if I want to restore the
session. I restore the session and it takes be back to the page I was
at. If I go back quickly enough (the video hasn't played much), firefox
won't crash.

OS: Ubuntu Feisty
FF: 2.0.0.3
plugin: libflashplayer.so, Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31 (I installed it by clicking the plugin icon when I first went to a flash site).
Also running: Flashblock (but this bug was happening before I installed flashblock)
