I cannot reproduce this using Chromium. Does the flash plugin crash for you using any browser?

Yes. Besides, it crashes Opera and Swiftfox as well.

I have a rather old Nvidia 6200 card.

I can't confirm this ... using the newest nvidia driver, firefox 3.6.12 and the flashplugin from aur (x86_64).
I have a NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT PCIe

[root@twoCore-Station data0]# pacman -Q nvidia
nvidia 260.19.12-1
[root@twoCore-Station data0]# pacman -Q nvidia-utils
nvidia-utils 260.19.12-1

I am using i686 system and the flashplugin from [extra]
I have tried openSUSE with the latest drivers and not experienced any problems, so it could be an Arch specific issue.

You forgot to mention what Desktop Environment you use. If it is KDE, try switching back and forth to another phonon backend in your multimedia settings through the system settings. Might be the current one is not working very well with the current flash.

I am using Gnome. I have tried to disable the Composite extensions already with no succeess.

Does the crash still happen if you disable hardware acceleration by right clicking chosing settings in the video before going fullscreen?
Comment by Szathmari Gabor (gszathmari) - Tuesday, 02 November 2010, 05:30 GMT
Yes this solves the problem.
Nonetheless, the LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 trick is not working.

I use gnome, and this happens as well. Although it doesnt crash firefox nor chromium, rather tha flashplugin crashes. I confirm.

Try to put the following lines in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg or to install flashplugin-prerelease from aur
OverrideGPUValidation=1
WindowlessDisable=1
