[F12] Firefox + Flash = crash

[Meng Qiu]

I installed F12,
it works well.
I have no such crash any more.
(F10, F11 do crash with Firefox+flash)

PS:
in 'about:plugins' of Firefox,
about Shockwave flash,
it shows:
'File name: nswrapper_32_32.libflashplayer.so'.

Firefox: firefox-3.5.5-1.fc12.i686,
Flash :  flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386(from adobe yum package).
