Dear Camaleon,
I thought I indicated that I  had done exactly that 
(as I mentioned in the above excerpt that you quoted). 
I put the .so file exactly there. /home/mlaks/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Now the iceweasel (or conkeror) crashes even to visit the NY Times web site, as well as
youtube.

The abdobe library crashes my iceweasel when invoked by youtube or nytimes.

Note I took out all of the swfdec or other libraries, it is clean with apt-get remove --purge
