How to: Get Rid of Annoying Firefox Crashes in Ubuntu Hardy (Flashplugin-nonfree)

(My solution is just for 32bit systems, I’ve tried it on 4 systems both upgraded from 7.10 and fresh installs. Resulted same. Be aware! This is not the official solution!)
Adobe’s Flash Player problematic is a little bit complicated in Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Ubuntu uses pulseaudio as soundserver and default flashplugin-nonfree package is having non-quality interaction with pulseaudio. Most of the Firefox crashes are because of this. There is a partial solution with this: nspluginwrapper package. It’s a mediator between pulseaudio & flashplugin-nonfree. Acts like a lubricant 
But after opening some flash object containing web sites, flash objects occur as greyish blank region(s)… No luck!
I get pissed off during this struggle. I was trying to convince myself as “Hey dear me! No way or another there should be a solution for that!”. I’ve searched all the bug reports, several forums, blah blah and I came to an end. Here is the solution.
Open a terminal then;
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove -y –purge flashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get remove -y –purge nspluginwrapper
sudo apt-get remove -y –purge libflashsupport
(Note: purge’s prefix is double dash.) then go to the Adobe website, (I’ve used Flash Player 10 Beta, you may choose ver. 9) download the .tar.gz package;
For ver. 9.0.124: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BUIGP
or
For ver 10 Beta: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
After that open the archive to any folder and close your browser… Run the installer (follow the instructions):
./flashplayer-installer
If it’s ok, then go to the directory
/home/YOURUSERNAME/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxx.default/
(ps.:xxxxxx is variable) and delete the xpti.dat file. That’s all, restart your browser and voila! Everything works as intended!
