You'll need to complain to Adobe, we cannot fix flash.
What I don't understand is why some of my friends are using netscape-flash-9 without any problems... That's why I filed this bug, because it kinda weird that on some computers it works but it doesn't on mine
I finally got it fixed. Here is what I did: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Xorg_X11_and_Transparency#Mozilla_.28Firefox.29_crash_Issue_with_Flash Hope it helps someone else too!
