Hello,

For me I identified the problem : it came from Swfdec that I tried to use instead Flash 10.

It worked half well (no sound, not all flash videos reading), but when I ran Firefox manually with "firefox --sync" I was able to have details on some web sites causing Firefox crash on loading or leaving page.

Examples :

Loading stream: http://d.scribd.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=17247103&access_key=key-nhgecu22f7o6ejyk5rj&page=1&version=1&viewMode=
unhandled event 19

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'.
  (Details: serial 93131 error_code 10 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...

I removed totally swfdec, installed Flash and now all works very fine, without crashing anymore. I hope it can help.
