What seems to happen in my case is that Flash crashes, nspluginwrapper
leaves a grey screen and I am sometimes not able to use flash again
until I restart the browser... however this has gotten lot less
happening in the recent versions of firefox.  I am using noscript
plugin which may be part of the issue.

However, I prefer that to my entire browser going down. Minefield does
that enough as it is :).
