When testing my flex application in debug mode, my debug session is closed every time because Firefox thinks the flash plug-in has crashed.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Firefox was updated with plugin-crash redundancy

Unfortunately this makes Firefox useless for developing Flash apps. Even worse: if your app has displayed an error message then when Firefox detects that Flash has 'crashed' it blocks the entire interface and you have to kill Firefox using the Task Manager.

Workaround: set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll to false to disable crash protection for flash plugin. Source.

You can also set the pref dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs to -1 to disable the timeout.
