Augh

So, something is making all the browsers on my nice shiny laptop crash. As in properly needing force-quitting crash. In fact, for the first time in my ownership that I recall the laptop had to be forcibly powered off and restarted yesterday after one of these instances.

I don't know what it is, I've got as far as "it's probably a plugin of some sort" because it affects Chrome, Firefox and Safari. iPlayer kills it stone dead straight away. But it seems to be happening on random pages. I was thinking flash, so I might rip the flash plugin out, and try that.

Was working *fine* yesterday, though, and I've not installed anything for a while (apart from Chrome a few days ago). Bah.

Bloody Flash

So, I've narrowed it down to the Flash plug-in. Disabling it results in a happy clappy machine. Enabling it leads to Urgh-splutch events. Unfortunately, much of the internet is Flash based these days.

Anyone got any suggestions? I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Flash, that didn't solve it...
