The same thing happens to me. I've had this problem for several YEARS, and it occurs on different machines (laptop and desktop) and through upgrades to flash and firefox and windows.

I've been complaining for years, and there's been nothing done, by either Mozilla or Adobe. I guess there aren't enough complaints to make it worth their while to figure out the problem. But it seriously has made me consider switching to a different browser. It literally happens every 5 minutes or so.

I'm having a similar problem, but when Adobe Flash crashes, there is no report available -- I can't even send a crash report! (see image)
