Firefox 4.0.1 crashes without warning (often or perhaps always due to flash player)

Firefox constantly crashes, about a quarter or half the times it loads a page with a flash player application on the page. It does not give warning or allow me to submit an error report. When I get back into Firefox and it loads the page again, it crashes. I have uninstalled all my add-ons and skins, although I haven't uninstalled any default plugins.

I have included my six most recent crash ID's, although some of these are from a month ago. There has been at least 20 of these crashes since a month ago, so therefore the 'about:crashes' page hasn't included (nearly all or all) of the reports of my Firefox crashing unexpectedly. I suspect these crash ID's would refer to a different type of crash.

I just want these crashes to stop. I have spent a lot more time working due to these crashes because of lost information. Is there a solution which does not involve uninstalling Firefox and installing an older version?

    • 6.21.2011 did occur for google chrome. it seems to be a compatibility issue with recent nvidia drivers & flash.

http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=197425&st=0 Crashing only started recently for me. It is a BSOD. For some crashes Windows Event viewer shows this: The driver nv4_disp for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.

Win XP 32 bit. Firefox 4.0.1 Flash Player 10.3.181.26 Occurs most often when loading pages with embedded flash video. Or, when switching playing videos from full-screen to embedded. Reproduced on youtube & with embedded CNN video.
