I've been having hell with Firefox 2.0.0.18 crashing when opening some Shockwave clips. TruTV.com comes to mind first. It tries to run a Shockwave clip at the beginning and down goes Firefox. Of course, it warns me that it's screwed but it still has to be shut down.

Was hoping Google_Earth would run under it, but doesn't...
