[Cialug] Debian updated without choosing

[Josh More]

You should be able to go into the Tools -> Add Ons -> Plugins part of
Firefox (IceWeasel) and disable flash.  If it still crashes after that,
flash is likely not a cause.

Todd,

Not sure which person you were at the meeting on Wednesday or whether
you were there at all.  I did not personally meet everyone there.  I was
the new guy at the end of the table.

It did as you said perform the upgrade fairly normally without any big
issues. It just had to run in a couple of parts.  There were many
package updates involved.

Bottom line is that since the update I am having a problem with both the
Ephiphany and Iceweasel browsers crashing.  That could be due to the
fact that the laptop is older and without much horsepower.  Haven't
really looked at why yet.  It may also have something to do with the way
I loaded the Adobe Flash plugin since it was not done through the
Synaptic manager as I was shown at the meeting.
