Flash plugin v9.0 r124 is the root cause.
Please disable it in;
Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins -> Shockwave Flash (Righ click, "Disable").
Then manly install the updated version.
Follow;
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/productinfo/instructions/#section-4

Just to clarify that this only affects user of the Flash Player plugin <=r124.
If you have v. 9.0 r125 you will *not* hit this bug.

FYI:
System wide is;

/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplayer.xpt
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Local user is;
.mozilla/plugins/flashplayer.xpt
.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Regards,
Edward O'Callaghan.

Reassigning to the correct Product/Component for Firefox.  However, I'm unclear
 as to whether or not there's an actual bug here or whether Firefox should be
able to use the older version of the plugin.

The root course was found as above and its something that should be documented.
Users of 2008.05 release that may have already installed the old version of the
plugin and will be upgrading to the 2008.11 release which now inc. FF3.

This is an known flash bug which causes Firefox 3.0 to crash. As Edward pointed
out, this bug has been fixed in the latest flash 9 r125 release. However, it's
good to document this issue to let people know.

David, where could we document this?

Ginn, Leon, does Flash provide some functionality to notify users to update to
the latest Flash plugin release?

(In reply to comment #6)
> Ginn, Leon, does Flash provide some functionality to notify users to update to
> the latest Flash plugin release?

No.

Alfred, could you please email Barbara Lundquist and Jyothi Srinath about
having this bug added to the release note?  After that, this bug can be closed
(presumedly as INVALID).

Changing target milestone to 200811 for consistency.

This has been added to "Known issues in the repository update" for b99. Could
the bug be marked as FIXINBUILD?

Seems like it can be closed as WORKSFORME since the issue is with the plugin. 
Since we don't have the plugin in our repository, we'll need to release note
(so keyworded).

CLOSE=>WORKSFORME

Just performed an upgrade to snv_b99 (from 2008.05) and firefox crashes every
time upon startup.

I uninstalled the Flash plugin (which already was r125).
Firefox crashes with and without the plugin.

My temporary workaround was to install Firefox from Blastwave.org (Firefox 2.0)
and that one works like a charm

If you wish, I can install the FF3 pkg again, and provide you with any
information you need from the crash

best
Filip

I found the cause of this.
The flash plugin, regardless of version is the source of the crash.

To solve this problem, and the known cause of it is.

Workaround

rm -rf ~/.macromedia

the flashplugin has stored data in here, this data has been the cause for the
crash.

removing that directory, and the flashplugin works as it should

Filip
