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.

If yes, then please file a bug upstream.
It's a crash in flash plugin - we can't fix that because it's closed source. Please install nspluginwrapper, it protects firefox from the plug-in breakage.
was already installed; didn't help to remove and install again.
IF you get any crash with nspluginwrapper installed please reopen this bug and attach the backtrace here. But the last one is w/o nspluginwrapper - flash libraries can't be present in the stacktrace because flash is running in separate process.
Note - only Fedora firefox packages run nspluginwrapper, the upstream ones ignore it.
