    FF crashes when loading Shockwave
    I'm using a fairly new laptop and Shockwave has always worked just fine with Firefox before. But now, every time I visit a webpage that loads a Shockwave application, FireFox crashes. This has happened repeatedly. I have tried:
    -Rebooting computer
    -Reinstalling Shockwave
    -Reinstalling Flash
    -Reinstalling FireFox
    -Disabling all plugins/extensions (except SW of course, or it says it can't load the content)
    -Running in safe mode

    None of these have worked, or any combination of them. However, Shockwave loads fine with Internet Explorer. After a Google search, I haven't found a significantly large number of people who share the same problem. I don't know what's up with this and I haven't overloaded FireFox with plugins or anything. All other pages without Shockwave work just fine, of course. Flash works just fine and appears to be irrelevant to the problem.

    Any help would be appreciated. I hate having to switch to IE just to view a webpage with Shockwave, and there are a number of websites I go to daily that use it.

    Here is a crash report, if it helps: (the website is just a random SW game I found as an example)
