This is very likely bug 897077, which is a duplicate of bug 768802.

phaniraj75, if you disable the Flash Player plugin in Firefox, are you able to repro the issue?

In addition, you can test with protected mode disabled in Flash, see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 (§ "last resort")
