I occasionally have firefox hang on a flash page - no segfault
reported, it just stops
responding. It doesn't do this on all pages, flash ads are OK. It
happens most often on You
Tube. I haven't noticed any other issues. It seems OK right up to the
point where it stops.

I haven't tried GNASH. I note that it implements swf v7. It depends if
this is enough for
the most websites, and for the ones you use regularly. It claims to
support You Tube, so
I may try it.
