What plugins are crashing? What does the crash message say?
Shockwave Flash is plugin crashing.
When crashing message says it's "Warning: Unresponsive Plugin Shockwave Flash may be busy, of it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now, or you can continue to see if the plugin will compete" and gives options of "continue" or "stop plugin"
I've tried few things before coming here to ask for help:
Checked and all Plugins are up to date
Going into Fire Fox button and setting Shockwave Flash to "Ask to Activate"
Disabled Hardware Acceleration in Fire Fox and Flash
Don't know if this will help, but . . .
Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
