Firefox crashes
The crashes today have not shown on your bug report. Since the update I installed yesterday, I have had several crashes. i have been on Facebook playing a game which uses shockwave flash. a white block appears saying Firefox has crashed and needs to be shut down. It doesn't matter if I click the X or if I click ok. Firefox closes. This last time, when I restarted it, I saw the embarrassing page.
