[Bug 968759] Re: adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.228-0lucid1freezes firefox display - crashes some webkit programs (depends on cpu)

 

Using AMD semprons 1800+.

I am experiencining the problem after running ubuntu update manager,
which upgrades firefox 11 to firefox 12 and upgrades Flash player to
11.2.202.235.

Also as a test, I downloaded the non-repository firefox from mozilla
website, and then downloaded the same version of Flash from Adobe
website (the tar.gz for "other linux".  I ran "apt-get purge" for the
existing firefox and adobe-flashplugin, then extracted the firefox and
flash to my home folder, and the same problem occured.  So this shows
that it isn't related to the firefox or flash that ubuntu provides, it
happens with the versions downloaded direct from the vendor sites.

I have successfully run this same version of flash with the firefox 12
from mozilla's site on another machine, but it was a different hardware
model and a different OS too, so now I can't say whether it was the OS
(mint 11) or the CPU type that allowed it to function correctly...
