Certain Flash videos cause instant BSOD.
When surfing every now and then a Flash video will cause an instant BSOD. I suspect this is related to hardware acceleration, but haven't found a common link as it's not directly related to resolution or window size. I'm on a PC that should have no problem handling several graphics intensive windows at once and I would really like to be able to use hardware acceleration to take advantage of the system as much as possible. Going to try disabling hardware acceleration for now, but any other tips would be appreciated.

This sounds like a Flash plugin problem, i.e. not really a Firefox problem. Out of curiosity, does this happen in Internet Explorer as well when playing similar videos?
I've been trying Chrome as well with nothing so far, the faults have been fairly sporadic and are hard to reproduce. This issue has only manifested itself over the past couple days since I updated to the latest Aurora release. After I had problems that were seemingly browser related I fell back on a stable release of 4.0. When I had issues with that I jumped forward to the latest release of 7.0 and had the same issue so I'm kinda stumped. Still seems reasonable that the flash content was responsible since the only BSOD failures I've ever had with this year old machine have only presented in the last week or so, immediately after opening a link to Flash content.
I have this problem too. WinXP Home with latest updates, Firefox 7.0.1 and latest flash. I can not see videos on youtube more then some minutes, I always get BSoD. In the IE-8 works good. (But I still think it is a flash plugin problem.)
Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
