It is not uncommon for the Adobe Flash Player plugin to conflict with 
the graphics driver, so that would be my first guess.  And it is also 
not uncommon for that Flash Player plugin to freeze or bring down 
Firefox, which itself is a GTK+ application and thus may tie in with the 
GTK+ libraries used by your desktop environment of choice and form 
another point of weakness. [*]


[*] I don't remember exactly which one you said you were using, but
    I'm pretty sure it isn't KDE, which is based upon the Qt widget
    libraries, and most of the other desktop environments supported
    in Mint are all GTK-based ─ XFCE, MATE, Cinnamon, LXDE, GNOME...
