However, I *have* had a serious problem with the Flash plug-in for Adobe crashing frequently, causing every Firefox window and tab to lock up for ~25 seconds each time it happens. I've tried updating video drivers (to 285.38 from whatever older one I had installed) in order to fix the problem, but that didn't fix it.
I've also installed a couple of Flash updates and a couple of Firefox updates. (The problem started with FF7's release.)
Nothing has really helped. Totally frustrating.
Eventually, I just switched to Chrome as my main browser.
Is this in any way the same or a related problem to the one you're seeing? Because it sure sounds like it could be. If it is, one has to wonder whether Nvidia or Adobe deserves more of the blame--or perhaps Mozilla? Dunno. Just hard to see those three suspects in a lineup and not point to Adobe.

I've personally had FF crash via Flash numerous times recently, usually on a particular blog I visit (embedded Youtube video.) Previously just the flash module would crash, now it takes out the whole browser.
I don't agree with Mozilla's fast development/update stance. I've had more issues since they started doing this than the previous 5+ years of using Firefox.

Happens on Intel (igfx) AMD, (amdkmdap) and Nvidia quite a bit from what I'm seeing
