I often use Iceweasel to connect to the BBC, either for radio or TV.
Recently I've found that when I delete the connection Iceweasel locks up
and I have to go to a terminal to kill it. This also happens with
Firefox (latest version) but not with Iceape.

Anyone else seen this?

Naturally the first thing you should suspect is flash.

The other thing that _might_ help, is to run strace on iceweasel and
see if that reveals why it's hanging.

Yes, correct. I found I was running an older version of flash. Updating
it has restored function to normal. Thanks.

Unfortunately it's not as simple as I thought. The latest version of
flash (10.1...) doesn't crash the browser but it gives a jerky display
with BBC iplayer on full screen. I see on the flash forum that this is a
known issue which others are complaining about. So I have to choose
between seeing TV in a small window or seeing it full size but having to
kill the browser afterwards each time.
