Some questions to narrow it down:
* What version of Ubuntu?
* Which flash player, and what version (GNASH, Adobe Flash plugin, etc)?
* Which version of Firefox?
* What's your video card
* Do you know which drivers for your card you are using (drivers
included by default, or the proprietary drivers if it's a card like
Nvidia or ATI)?
* If you are running a 3D card and Flash 10, do you have OpenGL
acceleration enabled within Flash? (Right-click anything flash in
Firefox, and click "Settings..."
* Are you running a 3D desktop (Compiz, KWIN, etc)?
If/when it happens, are you able to break out of X (CTRL+ALT+F1)? If
so, log into the shell there and type "dmesg" to try and get a dump out
of what the kernel is doing. Also check /var/log/syslog and
/var/log/dmesg for anything suspicious.
