Whenever I load a page that uses the Flash player plugin, Firefox crashes. When I disable the plugin, the browser works fine. I am also unable to install version 3.6.6. The update downloads, but when I restart the browser, either says "the partial update could not be applied," and tries to download a larger full version, or, if it has downloaded the full version, upon restart it says that firefox needs to be updated to 3.6.6
