** Summary changed:

- firefox crashes epically on start always after install of gnash etc
+ firefox crashes if

** Description changed:

+ I installed flash, after that, all sites (not just flash ones) crash
+ epically after few seconds each time.
  
- I installed flash (or rather a gnash, some mozilla/flash plugin etc, from normal repositories)
+ ii  swfdec-mozilla            0.8.0-0ubuntu1
  
- after that, all sites (not just flash ones) crash epically after few
- seconds each time.
+ With this - flash crashes often.
  
- If I run  firefox -g,  then it segfaults, but then starts up anyway, and
- then crashes after few seconds.
+ Also, anyway flash does not really work (in example on youtube):

  and here firefox anyway runs, but then crashes after few seconds in an
  epic way.
  
  Also, synaptic can not instal -dbgsym for this firefox  (side note: so this bug wins the  Bug² award, yey)
  (ok there was some instruction with version= something or somethin something on bug hunting wiki, but its totally not user friendly, I  think most people taking time to donte a bug report do not like to spend more of it then needed)
  
  ubuntu 8.10 amd64
  ii  firefox                   3.0.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.  
  
  (ps.: bug³ - dpkg -l makes it harder to report damn version. 
  Why make 1 developer take 5 minutes to change default column length to 200,  when we can instead make 10000 bug repoters each loose 5 minutes to re-google wheel? that is the spirit, lets make life harder)
