[QCLUG] Firefox stability under Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64

[Chris Cooper]

Over the last few days, I have been noticing some extreme instability
with Firefox under Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64 with the latest builds.  I have
tracked the issue down to Flash (I believe), but can't find a good
fix.  If I remove and reinstall flash (any of the 3 flash packages
Firefox suggests), then it works fine for a few days before the
crashes start.

It is currently so bad, just opening Gmail crashes the browser in 5-10
seconds.  (On that note, sorry about my grammar in my last post, I was
just happy I could get firefox up long enough to hit Send).  For the
time being, I have resorted to running the windows Firefox build and
Adobe's Flash under Wine and everything seems stable.

Has anyone else run into similar issues and if so, have you found any
ways to fix it?
