Firefox unexpectedly and randomly 'experiences a problem and shuts down' when playing pool on shockwave. Prior to shutting down, a window appears on the screen that says "Firefox is experiencing a problem and needs to shut down". Within seconds, Firefox shuts down. There is no pattern to when this occurs (it can happen at any time....sometimes twice in ten minutes...other times maybe one time per hour). This occurred approximately 8-10 times yesterday over a 3-4 hour period. It has happened 3 times today in less than 1 hour.  This has never happened before until the past week or so. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Actual Results:  
have to log back into firefox

Expected Results:  
Everything is fine for awhile...then shockwave quits in the middle of a pool game.

Can you please provided a link to the webpage that causes this. I am assuming it shockwave.com, but it would be nice to have a link.
