CentOS - Apr 2009 - Segmentation fault using flash-plugin under CentOS 5.3

Hi all

  I have a very strange problem on my CentOS 5.3 laptop. I have installed latest
firefox version from updates repository (3.0.7) with flash-plugin downloaded 
from adobe website. When i open firefox and i need to access to some web site 
with flash content, firefox crash with this message:

  /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.7/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  9133 Segmentation fault 
  "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

  Problem appears with versions 3.0.5 and 3.0.6 too. On the other hand, I have 
another laptop installed with RHEL 5.3 with firefox and flash-plugin (but this 
flash-plugin is installed from redhat repository - rhn) and this problem
doesn't
appears ...

  Where is the problem?? Maybe is it a bug with firefox under CentOS only??

  Thanks.

I too have this problem on one of my centOS work stations - I have two 
almost identical work stations running 64 bit versions of the os, but 32 
bit firefox versions. One machine is quite happy with the new flash, the 
other does a seg fault on any page that has a flash animation. My fix 
has been to use version flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386 and this 
seems to work fine - go figure
