[Bug 600158] Re: After upgrading to firefox 3.6.6 flash plugin crashes

[Peter Meyer]

Found this in another forum:
The recommendation was to run an add-on called FLASH-AID (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161939/)

The add on runs the following script.

I ran this, re-installed flash and now have it working!!!!  Based on
this code, the crashing may have been a conflict with any locally stored
($HOME/.mozilla/plugins) .so files.  Can someone confirm this.

#!/bin/bash

echo "Please wait...DON'T CLOSE THIS TERMINAL!"
sudo apt-get --yes purge swfdec-mozilla
sudo apt-get --yes purge mozilla-plugin-gnash
sudo apt-get --yes purge adobe-flashplugin
sudo apt-get --yes purge flashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get --yes purge flashplugin-installer
rm -f $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*so
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
rm -rf $HOME/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/Macromed/Flash

echo -n "Finished! You can close this terminal. You must restart Firefox
now." && read
