Google Fodder: On my 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 8.10, the latest (February 3rd file date) alpha 64-bit Adobe Flash Player for Linux will crash any browser (Firefox or SeaMonkey) if you access some embedded flash content while Tweetdeck is running. Tweetdeck (v0.22b) is an Adobe AIR app running on the 64-bit version of Adobe AIR for linux.
If Tweetdeck is NOT running, the Flash Player is stable....or at least a LOT more stable.
An example of content that crashes the Flash every time is: http://www.thedailyshow.com/index.jhtml
Plus simply opening www.metacafe.com will crash the Flash. The more Flash content there is on the page, the better the chance the Flash will crash.....and take the browser with it.
I've logged bug FP-1670 on the Adobe bug site.
