[Bug 270052] [NEW] Crash on reloading some Flash-Sites

[Florian Hars]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

http://feedthehead.net used to work just fine a few weeks ago.
Now I have to jump through hoops to get it working:

1. sudo dpkg  --purge flashplugin-nonfree
2. Start firefox, goto feedthehead.net and quit when it wants to search the plugin
3. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
4. Start firefox and visit the site, it will work.

If i click reload, Firefox will crash, leaving the following in
.xsession-errors

** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)

The same will happen ever after if I visit the site, until performing
the steps above.
