[Marc Deslauriers <marc.deslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, I've done a bit of research today, and this seems to be a
combination of flash, firefox, and the nvidia binary driver.

- All versions of flash 10 work properly
- flash 11 with firefox 8 from the team PPA works properly

flash 11.1.102.55 with ff 3.6.3 - works
flash 11.1.102.55 with ff 3.6.6 - works
flash 11.1.102.55 with ff 3.6.8 - works
flash 11.1.102.55 with ff 3.6.9 - broken
flash 11.1.102.55 with ff 3.6.11 - broken
flash 11.1.102.55 with ff 3.6.21 - broken
flash 11.1.102.55 with ff 3.6.24 - broken

It seems something was introduced in firefox 3.6 that is causing the
hang issues with flash 11.

Bug description:
  After upgrading firefox to version 3.6.23 few days ago, firefox does
  not work properly.

  At firt use after computer starting, firefox works well.
  It is possible to close firefox without any issue.
  But at second starting, firefox indicates it is impossible to launch firefox because firefox-bin process is still running.
  The workaround is to restart the computer, or simply kill the firefox-bin process.

  This behaviour happened right after upgrading firefox to version
  3.6.23, and is systematic with the profil user I use (it's an admin
  user).

  I tested with another profil (non admin) on the computer: The problem
  has not been reproduced.

  System is 10.04 LTS (kernel 2.6.32-33 generic)
