[Bug 181174] firefox freezes the X server while displaying flash

[guillcdv]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

When I display multiple pages in different tabs the entire desktop freezes and the only way out is a reboot (reset). Mouse and keyboard are lost.
This is usually done when I pre-download pages from a mail containing multiple links for news.

For example try to load all those links within the same firefox one tab
each

This should do it (although I've uninstalled gnash/klash to prevent it since I'm fed up of experimenting it).
This is fairly easy to reproduce.
Thanks
Guillaume
