http://www.nitrome.com/games/hotair2/ crashes the browser with Flash enabled

It just started doing that after the most recent update. Right in the middle of loading the website, the entire browser shuts down. I tried getting that CleanFlash thing, I tried clearing my cache, I tried clearing all my preferences, I tried booting in safe mode, but no matter what I do, the only thing that makes the website actually load is turning off Flash, which somewhat defeats the point of the exercise. I can't even get a toolkit error console output, because that also crashes! Help?

Pale Moon 38.8.1.1 will be released shortly to address this kind of crash.

I've pushed out 33.8.1.1 to fix this crashing.

I apologize if this broke Flash plugin handling. Currently it doesn't seem like Flash is working on that site, but I should have a fix in the next release of the browser to restore it to working order.

I don't think it's the site, because Flash is running just fine on it on Waterfox Classic.

It's not the site, it's our current handling of <object> elements. I made a mistake porting a security patch. It will be fixed in the next release.
