[Bug 295926] [NEW] Flash player initially works then disappears after a while

Binary package hint: seamonkey

Upgrading from Hardy 8.04 to Intrepid 8.10 (x86-64) has fixed the
problem with npviewer causing Seamonkey to hang (it would eventually
recover if left for a few minutes).  However, now the flash player
initially works for a while, then disappears so that the page element
containing a flash entity is a blank space.  Restarting Seamonkey
restores flash until it fails again after a while.  This bug is very
irritating.  Seamonkey version details follow.

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.17)
Gecko/20080829 SeaMonkey/1.1.12 (Ubuntu-1.1.12+nobinonly-0ubuntu1)

When run from a terminal window, many errors are generated, relating to
npviewer.

% seamonkey
 *** NSPlugin Viewer  *** WARNING: unhandled variable 17 in NPN_GetValue()

(npviewer.bin:1742): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_style_detach: assertion `style->attach_count > 0' failed

[....]

These errors repeat many times.

Reinstalling seamonkey and nspluginwrapper does not fix the problem.
