I am a flash developer and the new "crash protection" feature no longer allows me a chance to step through and debug my work. Is there an option to disable this? I couldn't find it.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I uploaded to the newest version

User Agent

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

It's deciding that some slow plugins on an older computer have crashed. Really pissing me off.

While flash is paused during debugging, Firefox kills the flash player.

Set dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs == -1 in about:config to disable the crash protector

I set 'dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs' to '-1' in about:config, as Linden suggested, but the crash protector is still active. Restarted Firefox. When i check the config after restart 'dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs' is set to '-1' but the crash protector still intervenes. Any idea why?

You can set the other dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.*prefs or only the Flash pref to false.
