When I attempt to load flash content(games, videos, etc.), including videos on sites like youtube, firefox crashes almost everytime.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox (It is the same whether the past tabs were opened on startup)
2.Go to a site that uses flash content (newgrounds, youtube, etc.)
3.Upon opening the page firefox crashes.
4.Very occasionally the content will run, but possibly, with flaws.(irregular frames and bizzare behavior.)
Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes with a message something along the lines of, "An unexpected error has occured, firefox must close now. Any unsaved content may be lost."

Expected Results:  
Run flash content with no popup messages.

default theme was used.
I suggest giving Flash 10 a try:

Along with the possibility that this is a Flash crash fixed for version 10, they fixed the bug that breaks Mozilla's crash reporter.
