I've heard that other people have success with turning off Flash's "Protected mode". On the other hand, that may have downsides of its own (I'm not familiar enough with Flash to tell you either way - please do research before following this advice :-) ).

Other than that, yes, we would like this fixed also, but the lack of specific steps to reproduce and the fact that the crashes themselves are in Flash mean that it's difficult for us to get that to happen.

I believe I'm getting the same bug, except that I'm on beta build and a different crash thread. Been having this problem for months though..

I guess you use the Firefox ESR Version?

Even when I think this shouldn't change anything to your Flash problems, I would suggest you to update your FF to the latest 31.xESR Version and Flash again to also the latest version.

I see in you list of "Submitted Crash Reports" that there are a lot of crashes not send out.
Thats normally crashes that are not actionable without more informations to reproduce.
But you can send them out anyway to see the exact signature.
All crashes not starting with a "bp-" are not send out yet.

If you can't provide steps to reproduce, this is a dup of Bug 774281, or Bug 789379.

If you can provide steps to reproduce your crashes, feel free to open this bug again.

Btw.: The next ESR Version is 38.0 and have a planed release on 2015-05-12. So maybe this version will fix your problems when you can't provide steps to reproduce this crash with FF31.xESR.
