I noticed it's Internet Download Manager causing the flash plugin to crash! Don't know why tho...so I changed my download manager to Free Download Manager, an open source program, and now everything is fine.
It was uTorrent (:o) causing the problem. I uninstalled it yesterday -I didn't have any torrents running so no problem- and now everything goes as smooth and fast as ever. Strange.
