Yes, and I carefully read your message.
But having several flash plugins installed in the same folder leads in
what you are experiencing: a crash.
So I expressely indicated to remove older files that could have been

Launch Icewasel in console and look for any error messages you get when
browsing to those sites.
Another thing you can try is renaming your current "~/.mozilla" folder
and start over again with a clean profile.
