Thanks Tom,

I've tested and I'm able to reproduce the crash on x86_64 with:

* firefox.x86_64 0:10.0.10-1.el5_8
* flash-plugin-11.2.202.243-release.i386 or 
flash-plugin-11.2.202.243-release.x86_64,
* nspluginwrapper installed

No segfault with flash-plugin-11.2.202.243-release.x86_64 without 
nspluginwrapper, or with previous Firefox (10.0.8).
