 $ export GNASH_OPTIONS=writelauncher
 $ firefox <url>

Make sure no other browser window is running when you fire the new
instance from commandline. You can use another browser, but the important
thing is that the GNASH_OPTIONS environment variable gets into
the plugin when fired.

This variable will force production of gnash-debug-#.sh files in
/tmp, which you should be able to run to invoke gnash with the
same parameters it was invoked by the plugin and add optional
parameters: ie:

$ sh /tmp/gnash-debug-1.sh -v

That launcher is a good script to attach to your bug (I saw  you already
filed one).

If you feel brave you can edit the script so it fires a gnash
binary from the build tree rather than the installed one (if you 
built gnash yourself) and you can run gdb against it.

Good luck !
