hi, my firefox will shut down automatically when i visit certain websites, such as some blogs from blogspot, facebook, some other websites. I tried to reinstall but it doesn't seems to help.

Anybody encountered this before?

try remove libflashsupport using 'sudo apt-get remove libflashsupport' . I don't have problem with firefox before, until i'm install it. but remember if u using pulseaudio server, maybe you will not get sound with flash files.

or you install a free ones

Try using this addon: Flashblock https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433

It disables all Flash content until you click on it. Good for disabling certain Flash content until you really need it.

It doesn't has to be flashplugin problem. It could be java/javscript problem, or just internal firefox problem such as memory leak.
What I could suggest is, try use strace to do some debug and see what cause your firefox to crash.
