How do I report something unusual in a crash that maybe indicates agency?
Today, the flash plugin crashed several times over. There was a crash report and I sent it. But the crash report was sent *before* I reloaded the page. Each time I reloaded a page that generated an error, a full sized page would pop up with what was clearly a full page ad - looking like a blog page, but really an ad. While crashes happen, they aren't ususally attended by popups. Since this wasn't part of the crash report, how do I report this other than this post here?

I'm afraid there's only the one. I was busy reading some articles I was interested in and on each page flash crashed and I reloaded. At first I didn't associate the popup with the crash. Finally, when I paid attention to the prompt to report the crash and clicked send, I reloaded the page and a new popup appreared. At that point I realized that this had happened several times and thought I should report it.
I have since updated flash and, so far, have not had the problem

That is a problem with the Flash plugin.
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
- disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
- disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Best of luck
Get Adblock+ First and then update your flash player plugin. Try the beta version of flash and check weather the problem is occurring in that also.
Thank you for all your responses. I have updated flash. However, one of the ads that had appeared returned - it turned out to be some kind of addon malware that installed itself. Searching Foxfire support, I found an article about it, Toparadehits.com, and did most of what the article said, but there were still remnants in my add on section.
I had the whole thing removed by McAfee since I felt that their service should have prevented it. In the end, I had to remove firefox entirely and reinstall.
Happily, I am ad-free (adblock+) and, especially, toparcadehits free.
