Thanks for your advice. I removed swfdec-mozilla. I was unsure exactly where the firefox profile is held so I completely uninstalled and removed everything I could find related to firefox and flash. I then rebooted and reinstalled them. It appears that I did not remove the profile but whatever I did seems to have cured the problem.
