Actually, it's safer (from the security vulnerability perspective) to use 11.3 with protected mode disabled, assuming that works for you. 11.2 isn't get any patches.

If you are running Flash 11.3, try disabling the new protected mode, since that feature is currently being debugged. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

Would appear that helped actually. So I guess I'll have to revert back to 11.2, until this issue is solved. Thanks for the help, jscher.
