Bug#663339: Maybe related to flashplugin-nonfree

[Hugh Pumphrey]

This problem is very likely to be related to flashplugin-nonfree rather 
than epiphany itself. Currently, flashplugin-nonfree installs 
flashplayer 11 which on many linux machines causes unexplained browser 
crashes on certain websites (You can't use it to download stuff for BBC 
iPlayer desktop, for example, even though it will play the streamed 
programs.)

Adobe do provide a download of flashplayer 10 with some security fixes. 
If you download this and replace the 
/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so with the flashplayer 10 
version of that file you may find that things work again. I suspect that 
this is all a result of Adobe not testing the player on enough varieties 
of CPU but I do not know this.

I have only tested this using iceweasel rather than epiphany, but I 
guess that it will work with epiphany too.

Hugh
