Bruce,
I have these problems with both Mozilla and with Firefox. The problems start
as soon as I add the libraries. While some flash files load fine the browser
is completely unstable now and crashes even if no flash content is in the 
document. Sometimes just closing one of multiple windows will crash the 
browser, even if no flash content is in any open window. As soon as I remove the
flash library the problem disappears. With the older version (7?) I could
at least access the majority of flash content files. But now I can't even
find a copy of that online.
