Firefox has just been crashing ever since this morning after I applied the flash patch as well. It will get stuck at one point at the "connecting" stage and just hang there.
Going to try out IE9 now.

Ok, so I pretty much fixed my issue. *knock on wood* First I reformatted my drive with Win8 RP x64, then I installed FF 3.6.7 x86 and then flash 11.3.300.268 x86. Then I updated FF via the FF updater to 14.01 and have not had a crash yet. Then I did the same to my Win7 x64 drive. Upon running FF under Win7, my flash became unstable and crashed. FF followed suit, then my system gave me a BSoD. Don't remember the error code. Anyways, I wiped the Win7 drive and installed Fedora 17 on it.

So now I am running Win8 RP and I have no issues. Win8 even runs my games a lot smoother. So no more Win7 for me. No dual boot with any thing either now that I have the extra drive. I may not like MetroUI, but damn me to Hell! it works a lot better then Win7 ever did.

Don't know if my experience will help anyone else, but it surely helped me.

I solved the Flash crash stuff -- but 13, 14 versions of Firefox keep messing up.

Even tho I shut down FF before shutting off the computer, FF then starts up next time, saying 'this is embarassing ...' and it asks if I want to start a new session.

Another issue is, sometimes I can't open a 3rd window -- it's either ridiculously shrunk in size, or the window is just blank.

FF seems to just lose my preferences too at times.

Newer is not always better.

Try dling FF 3.6.7, then uninstall FF, delete prefs and then install 3.6.7, update it all the way using the inbuilt updater and then add in all your extensions and then uninstall flash and then reinstall it. Make sure to use Ccleaner to clear all temps and then the Ccleaner reg cleaner at each stage of removal. Don't know if it will fix your issue, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

i dumped regular Firefox and am on 'Pale Moon x64' which is basically just a 64bit version of Firefox.

i don't have any issues with Flash on that and i am running newest flash.
