I have had this same problem on this particular hardware combination from at least FC7 onwards. I'm guessing it may be a problem with interaction with the proprietary nvidia driver and Firefox? I have a 6200 nvidia card. I also had the same issue with FC11 on an IBM/Lenovo laptop I had; I think that machine had integrated Intel video. My brother in law has a box running FC10 with an ATi 7500 and he DOESN'T have this problem at all.

I've never had a problem with flash in firefox, except for being not easy to install. But that's a security issue I believe. But once up and running I have never had difficulties you write about. I've had to install the combination probably 30 times over the past few years on several computers. I have used F3 right through to F12 on fairly standard clones.
