adobe flash plugin has crashed 3.6.8

I've updated to 3.6.8 but many times a day I receive the error that adobe flash plugin has crashed. I've checked for flash updates and have the current available. This occurs when I open firefox, browsing the net, using google, viewing facebook, viewing hotmail, viewing firefox website - basically at any time firefox is opened. Doesn't seem to matter what I am viewing.

Note: while writing this I received the error twice. And any attemtp to report the issue causes this error and complete lock up of firefox.

OS: win 7 32 bit

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== 3.6.4
