Hi all!!
I've installed flash plugin from Adobe ( flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386), everything work ok, i mean, in firefox without the plugin activated, when I surf in a page with flash, firefox become extremely slow, and sometime it froze.
Any idea?
This is a long-standing problem with Flash. If it were open source and ticked people off this much, it would get fixed. >:-( You could try sending nasty notes to Adobe, but don't hold your breath.
Firefox 3.x on Windows actually contains code (written by one of my students a couple years ago) to analyze how a plugin is loading the system. There's an extension which exposes this information through a user interface: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7055 ... Unfortunately it's hard to do this under Linux (and Mac) due to a different execution path for plugins.
