Firefox hangs with debug Flash player

When the debug version of the Adobe Flash player shows an exception dialog box while Firefox navigates away from a page (which embeds the Flash movie which raised the exception), then Firefox hangs if you (try to) click the button to acknowledge the exception.

At the moment Firefox developers blame Adobe, and Adobe unlikely to fix anything, but the following workaround seem to fix the problem.

Adding the dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll boolean value into about:config and setting it to false seems to fix the problem, the dialogs are still shown, but Firefox does not hang.

Don't know what will come here, let's wait and see... But in the first instance it will be a login box (for myself):
