Flash Crashes Firefox

Man, I had a crazy time trying to get flash to work in the latest version of Firefox (3.6.12). I am stubborn and don't usually give up but after trying everything I could think of I finally had to admit defeat and just go back to an earlier version of Firefox. I'm now back on a version of 3.5 and am having no problems.
That's seriously sad because Firefox "used" to be my favorite browser.
UPDATE 11/30/11
I have found something that works.
This issue seems to be related to hang protection that was added to Firefox. To disable follow these steps:
1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press.
2. The about:config page should appear. In the Filter box, type dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs
3. Double click the setting and change the number to -1 to disable hang protection.

Finally, a fix for me!
