I second the suggestion to move to the 64-bit version of Flash Player (and firefox) and unmerge nspluginwrapper. I have had zero flash problems since then. Of course, we don't know if the OP uses 64-bit gentoo or not. Also, if you're using Firefox add-ons such as flashblock or adblockplus, I would try disabling them. Sometimes they interfere in the rendering of the page even when you've whitelisted the site.
