[Bug 154164] Re: firefox hangs without certain packages

[John Vivirito]

You only need to install either flashplugin-nonfree or Mozilla-plugin-gnash to get flash to work on webpage. The other gnash package "gnash" are standalone player that brings in gnash-common as a depend.
This is happening becuase firefox is looking for a plugin when you open a flash embedded site (example: YouTube) 
The flash plugin-finder is garbage and never worked we are looking to disable this in future releases but we need to find out how Mozilla and Flash feel about this.
Can you please make sure this happens ONLY on flash pages. If you are not sure please give us the link and we will let you know if its flash or not. 

Also can you test with Firefox-3.0 if you are using Hardy to see if this
is still happening?

** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: mozilla-firefox => firefox
