I get occasional flash plugin crashes (still running 9.10 here, so not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison), but they're few and far between enough that they don't rise above the level of minor annoyance. Only the browser is affected, and when it does happen doing a "killall npviewer.bin" seems to un-stick things without even requiring a browser restart.
Have you tried Chrome? I've mostly ditched Firefox for Chrome these days... very fast and stable. Latest version even includes an integrated PDF viewer.

32-bit or 64-bit? If the issue is with the plugin wrapper (npviewer.bin), then you wouldn't be affected on 32-bit systems.
