Thanks Tom,
I've tested and I'm able to reproduce the crash on x86_64 with:
* firefox.x86_64 0:10.0.10-1.el5_8
* flash-plugin-11.2.202.243-release.i386 or
flash-plugin-11.2.202.243-release.x86_64,
* nspluginwrapper installed
No segfault with flash-plugin-11.2.202.243-release.x86_64 without
nspluginwrapper, or with previous Firefox (10.0.8).

Thanks for the advice. Removing 'nspluginwrapper' looks like it fixed
the problem. The seqfaults seemed to be unique to the Google website,
and now Google is working. I assume SL installs the proper plugins as
part of Yum updates, so hopefully I have everything I need.

Hello,
*** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown

[1] Segmentation fault firefox
[2007]cedar /home/rosmond:
I don't know what's causing the segfault (some plugin seems likely), but
the NSPlugin Viewer WARNING is seen with nspluginwrapper, which enables
you to use the 32-bit Flash plugin on 64-bit systems (necessary before
there was a 64-bit plugin).
If you use the flash plugin for your architecture and uninstall
nspluginwrapper, you won't see the warning. I'm not sure it's related
to your crash, since I see the message anywhere nspluginwrapper is
installed and it seems to be harmless.
In any case, there should be no need for nspluginwrapper if you have the
appropriate flash plugin installed.

I'm not a browser expert, so would appreciate any advice to correct the
problem. I could try to revert to the previous version, but would
prefer not to.
