On some boxes the Flash plugin will always crash your web browser.
Maybe this helps you too, if you have spurious crashs with Firefox/Iceweasel.
Here are tips to avoid this:
1. Edit your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf as root:
Disable Composite
Comment out the following line:
----8<------8<------8<------8<---
Section "Extensions"
...
# Option "Composite" "Enable"
...
EndSection
----8<------8<------8<------8<---
Set Color depth to 24
Change the following line:
----8<------8<------8<------8<---
Section "Screen"
...
DefaultDepth 24
...
EndSection
----8<------8<------8<------8<---
Now you have to restart your X Server.
2. Another Fix
Execute the following line before starting Firefox/Iceweasel
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
Enjoy Kanotix!
