Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Version: 1:1.7
Severity: important

I updated flashplugin-nonfree to 1:1.7 a short time ago (from 1:1.6.3), and
started experiencing non-fatal freezing in iceweasel.

I have temporarily been forced to use my ISP's webmail interface as I
transition to a new home LAN setup, and their interface is crammed with
useless Flash displays.  With flashplugin-nonfree 1.6.3 all was well, but
after the update to 1.7 loading of any page with Flash components causes
iceweasel to freeze up for 20-30 seconds before becoming usable again.  This
renders the webmail client inconvenient to use, if not totally unusable.

Downgrading to flashplugin-nonfree 1:1.6.3 restores the previous behavior,
where everything works just fine.
