I was told not to install the default flash player several distros ago and to install Adobe flash player. This solved the instability problem with all but 8.04. 8.04 is unstable whether or not FireFox is running.
The latest upgrade of FireFox in 7.10 is also unstable. I am working on that problem in a similar way you are working on it. Worst problem with the latest FireFox in 7.10 is that for no reason the browser will lock up not only itself, but the entire system. Running a system monitor I find no reason since CPU usage on either core is always about 2 to 7 percent.
