I had the same exact problem but I did this ( running amd 64 if that might help ), the flash plugin that you get with synaptic was causing my problems, ( unable to fast forward, seek, skip, load, etc ) so what I did was I went to the adobe site grabbed the libflashplugin.so for the 64bit arch and removed flash then copyed the new flash plugin into /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins. And ever since then my firefox constantly crashes when sites have flash. This is what I get when running in a console.
