Firefox by itself (now v.1.05, here) does not act up in response to 
flash-built web pages, and has no start-up problems, except for the 
warning message.
I have no flash-related app installed.
The G_MAXLONG warning appears also when running Thunderbird.
 From my experience, this is probably not related to any flash app. or 
to any flash-generated content.
