Firefox is freezing up

[Excedio]

I recently did an update to my Firefox (3.6.4pre) and it seems to have broken something. Ubuntuforums is the only website that I have been able to go to without Firefox freezing up and going dark.

Is anyone else seeing this problem? Anyone have a possible solution?

Just a generic firefox trouble-shooting tip: try disabling all plugins/add-ons and/or create a new profile and see if the problem persists.

Ran through a terminal. Got this...

** (firefox-bin:5728): WARNING **: Serious fd usage error 14

** (firefox-bin:5728): WARNING **: Serious fd usage error 12

Disabled all add-ons, no luck.

Edit: Found the Plug-In that is causing the problem. Shockwave Flash 10.0.r32. I also have Shockwave Flash 10.0.r45 installed and when r45 is Enabled, I have zero problems. However, I cannot watch Flash videos without r32. :-/

r45 alone will give me a white screen with no video on YouTube, Any ideas?

When starting it from a terminal, try using the "-safe-mode" option.
