Description changed to:
Hi all, new here.

I have been searching all over the net for months and have not found a
working solution to my current problem.  I do not know if it's something
that can be fixed by setup or it is an outright bug that requires work
from either Ubuntu, NVIDIA, or Adobe, or what.

I'm running on an Acer Aspire 4935G with NVIDIA 9300M GS video

Fresh install of Jaunty 32 bit, no NVIDIA driver, and the following Flash options tried on Firefox 3.0.11, but same results with NVIDIA 180 and 185 drivers, same results on Firefox 3.5
1.  adobe flash plugin 9
2.  adobe flash plugin 10
3.  gnash swfdec etc
4.  flashplugin-nonfree with and without nsplugin-wrapper
5.  various combinations of the above

I've also tried some of the PulseAudio setup fixes to no avail.

There are many flash applications, Facebook games most often, that cause
Firefox to crash to desktop with a Segmentation fault.  In Opera the
flash apps just go blank without crashing the browser.

It used to be just games, and just an inconvenience.  But now many
websites with flash, maybe in the ads, are triggering the crash, among
them imdb.com, and some sites with video other than Youtube videos.

The situation is the same with all the flash options I've tried similar
to the above with Jaunty 64 bit.

I installed Hardy on VBox on top of Jaunty and the crashes do not happen
in the VBox's Firefox, all the flash is slow as expected, but it's not
crashing.

I am not very versed in reporting bug-like things in Ubuntu yet so if
additional information is needed I'd appreciate instructions that will
provide that debug information.

I am hoping I won't be forced to revert to Hardy.

Thanks in advance.
