History search in Synaptic? Not really an option after such a long time.

Ok, other options.
Worse case scenario, backup your bookmarks, note addons and rename /.mozilla
e.g.
.mozilla.broken

Restart firefox and test the websites with your favourite flash app.

You may also check about:plugins (insert in url bar) if plugin is correct implemented.
In addition you may add back addons successive.

There shouldn't be different versions of flash apps in
/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/
~/.mozilla/plugins

Maybe it helps to remove folders with #
in
.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys
and
.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects

If you're using radeon driver you may add to device section of xorg.conf
Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
	Option          "AccelMethod" "EXA"
EndSection

Of course backup system files before edit
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
