Firefox 3 Beta Crashing Randomly Ubuntu Hardy 8.04

There appears to be a bug with a combination of Firefox, pulseaudio, and the libflashsupport packages in Ubuntu Hardy Heron. This causes sites with flash to sometimes cause the browser window to close. The temporary solution here is to remove the "libflashsupport"package.

This will only help if your sound card supports mixing, as it will default to ALSA instead of pulseaudio. If this is not the case, you may want to remove pulseaudio from your system and just use ALSA entirely.
