I also have the same crash closing flash-pages. My workaround is simple and transparent. make a wrapper to launch firefox with this lines:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
firefox $@

So, you preload de flash plugin before launch firefox and it isn't never unloaded when you close a flash page.

Of course the path of libflashplayer.so must be the one matching your system installation.

It seem to be a good workaround until the resolution of the bug.

Regards.
