There is a new release of Adobe Flash Player plugin for 64-bit browsers that popped up quite recently. I have been trying to use the plugin for a few hours by testing it on sites like e.g Youtube.com , Facebook.com and many more but all have either caused crashes to the plugin-container or just won't load and leave the browser laggy.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the version 3.7 of Minefield(64-bit) from www.mozilla-x86-64.com/
2.Install the new Adobe Flash Plugin from Adobe http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
3.Try opening sites that use Adobe plugin like Youtube.com or Facebook.com
Actual Results:  
It would either crash or not start at all

Expected Results:  
It should have opened the application just like it would on Firefox 32-bit

Version and milestone values are being reset to defaults as part of product refactoring.
