It must've been added within the last couple days.

If that's true, then it's a first. Firefox still doesn't have stable support for Flash on Linux. (I kid. A little. But not really.)

Firefox _never_ crashes for me because of Flash since I started always using nspluginwrapper. All that happens at most is the Flash plugin process dies (npviewer.bin). I can also just killall npviewer.bin anytime I want to killall Flash processes. I'm telling everyone!

My sleep timer (for long running Flash streams)

    #  wait 1 hour     kill flash       turn off LCD
    sleep 3600; killall npviewer.bin; xset dpms force standby

Seems to work on my machine, for the most part.
