I'm on the beta channel, and a couple of days ago I started to have frequent crashes whenever the Flash plugin was used on a page (after an update to 41b9 which was still called b9 for some reason). Sometimes Firefox would just hang, and sometimes it would even crash the Intel graphics driver (black screen followed by a popup that the graphics driver crashed). On a couple of websites the crashes were 100% repeatable.

Apparently there was a last minute change regarding the asynchronous loading of plugins to prevent crashes. My crashes started after they applied this fix.

See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204036

After I set dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit.enabled back to True the crashes went away.

So if anybody is experiencing this, play around with this setting to see what happens. I hope they sort this out before 41 final lands (RC1 just came out)
