STR:
1) Enable tablet mode on a tablet pc
2) Install and run Firefox
3) Go to the adobe web site in Firefox, download the flash installer
4) Click on the flash install download in the downloads dropdown panel to run the installer 

result:

- Firefox closes, start screen displays
- Clicking on Firefox does nothing

The truth here is that Firefox doesn't actually close, it loses foreground status instead. The flash installer doesn't take foreground status either, so the start screen is displayed.

In the background you still have a flash install running a long with Firefox. The state of things is pretty broken until you find the flash installer and close it, then relaunch Firefox.

We're in the process of removing support for plugins (bug 1677160), so I think this bug is irrelevant now.
