Reply to #20 - As an example, any flash content on www.boingboing.net crashes in Firefox under Hardy.

Other sites with flash produce the same message.

I have three flash plugins on Firefox - the old 9.0 r31, the current 9.0 r100 and GPLFlash 0.4.12. Of these, Firefox only seems to recognise 9.0 r31 because disabling this version and enabling the others using the Add-on control panel in Firefox gives a message that the "plugin for this content has been disabled" on any flash content. Enabling the r31 version gives the message that the Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. I only added the r100 and GPLFlash plugins (via Synaptic) after the r31 version failed to work after the upgrade but Firefox doesn't appear to be able to use them and keeps reverting to the r31 version.

I have a laptop with Ubuntu Netbook Remix on which there is no such problem so this seems to be limited to Hardy.
