How long does it take to get a reponse on a bug?

Depends on the bug; Depends on the developper; depends on the severity of the
bug. Depends on how widespread the problem is (not everyone is affected here; I
know that the flash plugin works fine on my Hoary machine...) And in this case,
since it seems to be related to a piece of code (the flash plugin) for which
Ubuntu developpers don't have access to the source, the close-source situation
probably doesn't help them getting to the bottom of the problem. I'm marking
this one a duplicate of bug #14911 since these 3 bugs (#9938, #9828, #8589) seem
to be the same bug that causes crashes when using of the Macromedia flash plugin
in Firefox.

This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 14911.
