Quote from Mozilla's blog of Metrics on work to correct Firefox crashes:
"For example, with a significant percentage of crashes in Flash, a lot of work around stability improvement for Firefox users is currently going into Flash Player 10.1."
It's also worth noting the comment that explains another large percentage of their crashes came from misbehaving extensions when they rejigged the internal code between 3 and 3.5. Since Safari doesn't have that issue that would increase the Flash crash rate as a percentage of the total for them.
You can also look at Firefox's crash stats and dig through the various bits of data in various ways. Most of it is incomprehensible to me, but if you sort crashes by site then Flash based sites seem to come top.

Obviously these sites are partly there because they are popular (take that Steve Jobs!), but it still seems over-represented by Flash to my eye.
