Flash debug player crashing

I am using the latest version of the flash debug player (11.1.102.55) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

I am finding that the plugin will crash on some pages in IE9. One example is: http://blog.polarion.com/archives/1728

The page will consistently crash in IE9. However, if I uninstall the player and install the non-debug version, then it does not crash. Using firefox with the debug player, I am seeing a "The Adobe flash plugin has crashed. No report is avaliable" image in place of the swf. I have disabled all addons and left only the debug player turned on in IE9, but I am still getting those crashes.

I have tried turning off hardware acceleration to the same result.

So far, I can confirm that this happens in both firefox 9.0.1 and IE 9.

Any ideas?

Turns out the flashbug firebug addon is the cause of the problem.

The addon created a mm.cfg file to configure the debug player which affects ALL browsers.

It uses a preload swf:

PreloadSwf=C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ekizin8e.default\extensions\flashbug@coursevector.com\chrome\content\flashbug\profiler.swf

This profiler.swf is probably buggy which is why a select few swfs crash.

Renaming mm.cfg or removing it fixes the issue, however, now I am on the hunt for another flash debugger for firebug
