Flash freezes firefox and drops the CPU usage to almost 0 as if Firefox wasn't running

I've uninstalled both flash and Firefox but neither worked. I've also disabled my add-ons and tried the flash 10 beta. However it resumes after I end the task of firefox in Task Manager but hit cancel when Firefox asks me if I want to save my tabs. If I kill the plug-in-container then firefox becomes unfrozen but flash crashes.
