Are you referring to general instability or bug 14911
(https://launchpad.net/products/firefox/+bug/14911), the
firefox+flash+ARGB crash, which rather reliably crashes firefox whenever
flash is used?
Since, unfortunately, it seems that so many people use
flashplugin-nonfree, perhaps the bug needs to be noted somewhere (maybe
during installation?).
