Some additional info: Flash causes so many problems that I'll add a new preference option disabling Flash per default in one of the next releases upstream. Flash both tends to crash and freeze Liferea. Concerning data loss: there is a DB closing every 500 DB write actions to prevent loosing long term changes. But a crash will never go without data loss.
