this issue was most likely caused by a corrupt profile. It's hard to
tell since you wiped everything out.
For other users that is not the recommended way to remove profiles nor
fix a bug. Removing firefox will remove a lot of other packages this has
been known and someday we hope to have xulrunner fix that. this way
firefox goes it wont bring half of gnome with it. but this is a work in
progress at this time. IS anyone else having this issue anymore and if
so can you please give me info as to your version of flash, firefox,
ubuntu that you are using.
