** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  When loading a page containing a flash applet, Firefox will often
  generate a segfault showing the following error message in the console:
  
  --start quote--
  about:blank is either a broken URL or Swfdec can't parse it
  Segmentation fault
  --end quote--
  
  As the word Swfdec appears in the error message, I can only deduce that
  there might be something wrong with the integration of the flash plugin
  ("Shockwave Flask 9.0 r999"). I also tried installing the FlashBlock
  extension and the errors didn't go away.
  
  The error only occurs when I (re)load a certain page containing a flash
  applet (like http://www.youtube.com/). The error is not always
  reproducible, at least on my system, but it seems that it happens more
- than 50% of the time. Sometimes the following error occurs instead:

- For the times when the browser doesn't crash, when I click on the flash
- applet to activate it, the CPU usage booms to 100% (dual core) and the
