Isn't the FireFox Plugin-Container meant to stop that from happening?
You can try: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto to go back
to the old Ubuntu, I have used it before to downgrade a client to 9.10
after he botched up his 10.04 upgrade.

My suggestion would be to boot up straight into CLI and uninstall Flash
and use the Ubuntu helpers to install Flash again which might help, if
you don't know how you installed Flash or are too lazy to manually do it
you can always use Synaptic just make sure you uninstall the wrapper too
(as always).
