Hi all. Excuse me for taking me so much time to answer. The fact is that I will continue using Ubuntu 8.04 for a while and I will not be able to test it in a newer version in my computer in the near future - just hardware issues.
Sure you already know this, but just in case, this is an extract from mozilla.addons.org page for the flashblock plugin: "All RECENT crashes on Ubuntu have been traced to one of two problems (this may apply to gentoo and other debian based distros). 1. You are using the Firefox version from the Ubuntu repositories. Install the official tarball from mozilla.com Most people on Unbuntu report that the official release from mozilla doesn't crash in the same circumstances that Ubuntu Firefox crashes. Also the official tarball is reported to be much more stable. 2. You are using Flashplayer 10 beta on Ubuntu. Users have reported that Flashplayer 9.0 r124 don't crash for those specific pages. Unfortunately Flashplayer 9.0 r124 crashes with RealPlayer streams and 10 Beta doesn't crash in this case. So I guess it's one crash or the other." -- firefox 3b5 crashes after a blank windows pops-up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to icedtea-gcjwebplugin in ubuntu.

It seems to be something realted with the IcedTea gcj plugin, but I can't confirm it yet. Ill try disabling it for a while. Here is the stderr produced during a faulty session.
