Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

First of all, could we get output of the command

	rpm -qa *xulrun* *firefox* *mozilla* *flash* *plugin*

Please also install firefox-debuginfo (debuginfo-install is from
yum-utils package).

	debuginfo-install firefox

Then run firefox with a parameter -g. That will start firefox running inside of gdb debugger. Then use command run and do whatever you did to make firefox crash. When it happens, you should go back to the gdb and run

	(gdb) thread apply all backtrace

This produces usually many screens of the text. Copy all of them into a text editor and attach the file to the bug as an uncompressed attachment.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2009-05-27 21:14:02 UTC
I am sorry, but this is crash in libflashplayer.so ... we cannot do much about it.

Closing as CANTFIX (because we cannot)

Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2009-05-28 07:10:13 UTC
Note: Try to install nspluginwrapper package, it shields a browser from flash plug-in crashes.

Comment 5 Karl Tomlinson 2009-08-24 21:13:28 UTC
Will be fixed in Firefox 3.5.3:
