With every Flash update, the plugin crashes more and more

Hi,
I have used Flash and a variety of browsers happily for years without any problems. When Mac users were awlays complaining that Flash is **** because it always crashes, I naivley thought, "What? Flash can crash?"

Then about two years ago I saw it crash for the first time ever - and on Chrome of all browsers. Since then (and for unrelated reasons) I've moved back to Firefox and in the past year or two when they've been apparently making the plugin more stable (by making it a seperate process and giving it hardware accelleration) it's simply gotten worse. With every update, the crashes happen more and more often. It can crash at any time on any site, except for when I'm not using the browser. Often I have to go into Task Manager to end the Flash process.

Windows 7 64bit, 8gb RAM, Nvidia GTX 460, Intel i7.
Graphics driver: 301.42 (Latest WHQL from May)
Firefox ver: 14.0.1 (Latest)
Flash ver: 11,3,300,265 (Latest)

I rarely come across a site that uses it for anything other than video content so I couldn't say what it's crashing on other than videos
