Whenever my ff30 stops (as in I leave it for a while and it's still running) or I shut it down, the volume in Win 7 resets Flash to zero.

I have the latest versions of both Flash and Firefox.

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

Does the problem continue in Safe mode?

Yes it was.

I'm actually thinking I might have registry problems in Windows and this is symptomatic.

Try running a registry scan.
