</p><p>As a test, try setting Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate"). This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.
</p><p>To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
</p>
<ul><li> Ctrl+Shift+a
</li><li> "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) &gt; Add-ons
</li></ul>
<p>In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
</p><p>When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
</p><p>Feel free to ignore that if you aren't looking to play media on the site.
</p><p>Also, try disabling the protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin. It has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. There is a hidden setting for this:
</p><p>(A) In a new tab, type or paste <strong>about:config</strong> in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
</p><p>(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste <strong>flash</strong> and pause while the list is filtered
</p><p>(C) Double-click the <strong>dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode</strong> preference to switch its value from false to true.
</p><p>This might not take effect until all Flash has been unloaded for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.

Pretty much exactly as OP described, happens on high content websites like tumblr and deviantart, only once per boot though

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any better workaround for this, other than never exiting out of Firefox, which really isn't that practical...
