The problem is this. Whenever I try viewing a .flv video, Firefox crashes. I have, for another issue a while ago, reinstalled flash and that hasn't made any difference to this particular problem. Any ideas?

If you run FF in a terminal, does it dump any interesting output?

Erm, no. Unless I've got the command line wrong. Do I need to run it as root? (Excuse the possibly obvious question. I'm not yet wise in the ways of bash.)

I expect you've probably done it right, something like this:
$ firefox
You won't need to run as root. If there's no output then that line of investigation is probably dead. Sorry.

What version of flash and is it the version installed via a distros package repository or did you install it by downloading from adobe and manually installing. ?
Type about:plugins into the address bar to see what version of flash is loaded.
It's the very latest version of flash (just updated via the distros package) and it's still not happy. (It was something like 10.0.42 before and this is 10.0.45)
