I have installed the release version of Flashplayer 10 on a system that didn't have both libcurl and nss installed. When trying to access any site that has Flash content, Firefox crashed without reporting any error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Flashplayer 10 on a system without libcurl and nss
2.Point Firefox to adobe.com

Actual Results:  
Firefox dies.

Expected Results:  
Either, the faulty plugin is ignored and the page is displayed with no flash content, or an error message is displayed first and then it goes to the page.


Opera ignores the faulty plugin and that's way better than a crash but still an error message should be more user friendly.
