Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through the GrapevineAfter running a software update, Firefox started crapping out. It would freeze and turn completely grey, but after a minute or two it would return to normal.
My guess was that it had something to do with Flash. I (mistakenly) used this script to install it:

It was a mistake because I got my names mixed up (I thought 7.10 was Feisty Fawn). Therefore i ran the script, telling it that I was running Feisty Fawn. After that, Flash worked great in Firefox.
Later, Ubuntu tells me that nspluginwrapper is out of date. After updating that, I started getting the grey out that people have talked about.
My solution was to remove nspluginwrapper with Synaptic (and probably any other flash-related packages installed) and run the script in the thread above. Then, avoid the new update for that damn plugin wrapper
