I would consider myself to be quite technical and I haven't had an issue with Windows in a long time, but recently, Firefox started to show that "Stopped Working" dialog each time I closed it, so I decided to completely cleanly uninstall Firefox (including scanning for registry entries, removing the Program Files folder, and removing the Roaming data folder).
After reinstalling, I now receive the "Stopped Working" dialog on Flash every time I view a flash-based page in Firefox. I've tried to uninstall Flash and reinstall it, but to no avail. Here is the crash report from the dialog:

I am running Windows 7 64bit SP1, fully updated as of yesterday. I am using the latest version of Firefox (17.0.1) and I am using the setup file directly from Adobe for Flash. I've tested the same flash-based website in the latest version of Opera and the latest version of Chrome. While I have no issue using Chrome, my preferred development environment is Firefox.
I would have normally chosen to Google this, but do to the generic nature of Flash "not working", I was unable to dig through the myriad of posts of people having issues with Flash.
Any and all help is thoroughly appreciated!
