Firefox 3/Flash/Wowhead Issue

Recently, I tried to view an item in 3D on Wowhead and realized I needed to update from Flash 9 to Flash 10. Once I did that, Wowhead started crashing Firefox when I tried to view items in 3D. I'm stumped. I'm having the same issue on both my work and home computers.
This is what happens with Flash 10 installed:
I click on "View in 3D"
I am able to see the item in 3D.
I click the "Close" button.
Firefox hangs, and I need to open Task Manager to restart it.
So far I have tried the following:
Uninstalling Flash 10, reinstalling Flash 9
Reinstalling Firefox (version 3.0.6)
Trying Firefox in "Safe Mode"
Clearing my cache, cookies, etc
I'm back to using Flash 9 for now, but of course that means I can't view anything in 3D. It's also starting to give me problems at other web sites that want me to upgrade to 10. I would appreciate any advice you could offer. Thank you.

Does the Java 3D model viewer work properly, or is it also broken?

The Java modeler has only ever worked for me intermittently. That issue started before the Flash problem, though. Usually it says Java is loading, but nothing ever happens. I verified that I'm using the latest version.
EDIT: Java worked. It seriously took five to ten minutes to load. Is that normal? Right after I posted that it isn't working, I tabbed over to the other window and the Java modeler had finally loaded.
2ND EDIT: The Java modeler is only taking 1-2 minutes to load now. Oookay. I don't know how I fixed it. I'm perfectly happy to use the Java modeler instead of Flash, but I'd still like to figure out what's going on with Flash 10. Obviously it's not normal for it to crash my browser when I try to use it. :P
Man, this is weird. Thanks for trying to help me. I'm stumped on this one, especially since it's occurring both at home and at work.
P.S. The Firefox addons I use are Adblock Plus and NoScript. I have tried disabling them and also running in safe mode.
