Are you using the linux-flashplugin? You could try graphics/gnash as a flash plugin. If it crashes it doesn't take your browser with it. And it is open source. It doesn't work with all flash sites, but e.g. youtube works.

I didn't see any replies about ${OTHER_OS} -- Firefox 3.0.11 does not
crash on *buntu (don't ask) for me. I just wanted to point that out.
I don't have FF3 on FreeBSD boxes to test.
Just thought I'd share.
