I tend to use the FlashBlock plugin and I've noticed very little instability in using FF3b5 for the last few weeks, in fact it's been a very positive experience.
FlashBlock doesn't stop you using Flash, just prevents it automatically starting, you can manually activate any specific flash that you want to to use by clicking on the button[2] that FlashBlock puts up. You can also set up a "white list" of sites to always allow too. Darren.
