You mean the logs when you start firefox with console ?
Cause these logs can be useful.

Thanks. That did it.

Here is what I get when I visit a page with flash:

** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)
** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2)
** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)
** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2)
** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)
** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2)
** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)
** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2)
Bus error (core dumped)

I've been googling "ubuntu firefox flash crash" but it's a pain with a
browser that keeps dying.

Any ideas? It happened right after I installed a plug-in for Rhapsody, and
action I would like to reverse.

look in:

~/.mozilla/plugins

and if the Rhapsody plugin is in there, rename it and try again.

No sign of a Rhapsody plugin, nor any file with rhapsody on my system.
However, I moved all the flash plugin files to a different directory and
everything seems to be all fixed now. I'll re-install the flash plugin and
hope for the best.

Thanks.

I just quote from a forum, this solution worked for someone on it who
had try to uninstall firefox :

"try moving the ~/.mozilla/firefox/ directory somewhere so it's
recreated when firefox starts. If that works then you can at least get
your bookmarks back by copying the old ~/.mozilla/firefox/(some random
stuff).default/bookmarks.html to the new directory."

I have had problems with FireFox, and have had to do the following:

Edit /usr/lib/firefox/firefox, and add the following:
"export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1"

I was crashing upon visiting sites like yahoo, and the above fixed it.
