  1. Unfortunately this makes Firefox useless for developing Flash apps. Even worse: if your app has displayed an error message then when Firefox detects that Flash has 'crashed' it blocks the entire interface and you have to kill Firefox using the Task Manager.

    You can also set the pref dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs to -1 to disable the timeout.
