I sure would like to know how to get it working without crashing. Yes though like I say I also use flashblock so I only see the flash I want to. I'm moving house at the moment so I can't try and recreate my steps to install it but it was something like: install firefox, linux-flashplugin9, nspluginwrapper from ports locate libflashplayer.so run nspluginwrapper I'll try running without flashblock for a while and see what happens.
