6 Likely. Pretty much the only reason of FF3 crashes here.

11 Note however that this can make flash even more unstable in combination
12 with other blockers like NoScript. I had Flashblock installed since
13 the time when NoScript didn't have this functionality and it caused FF
14 to crash 90% of the time I manually started a YouTube video. Since
15 NoScript can do it, I got rid of Flashblock, whitelisted a few sites and
16 have since had FF uptimes of weeks again.
