Things i've tried so far which didn't worked out:

 

1. Starting ff in safe mode.

2. Resetting Firefox. (even with no add-on and plugins it crashed)

3. Fresh installation of Firefox. (no extensions what so ever)

4. Fresh installation of flash player.

5. Disabled OpenH264. (to check for a possible conflict)

6.  Disable hardware acceleration.

Despite all these tries, FP still crashes. I have submitted quite a few crash reports, few of them posted here. I have updated system with updated GPU drivers as well.  

Kindly have a look and help in resolving the issue. 
Thanks.

A crash in Flash is probably not a security issue.  Are there some sites in particular that trigger the crash?

Hello Reporter, Thanks for reporting this issue and sorry for getting back to you so late.
Several similar issues were reported. Our developers figured out that the problem was with the beta version of Adobe Shockwave flash plugin. This was fixed when Flash Player 20.0.0.238 was pushed. Please refer to bug # 1227221 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1227221) for more information on problem and resolution.

I tried duplicating this issue on the latest released version of flash player Shockwave Flash 20.0.0.267 with the latest released version of firefox but couldn't reproduce it. We would like you to upgrade your Flash player plugin and firefox to the latest released version, if you haven't done so and try again. I would change the status of this defect after your confirmation.
