Crashing Chrome Shockwave Plug-In

I have been having an Issue lately with Google Chrome, it seems to be crashing the shock wave plug in. It pains me to see chrome crash seeing that I'm a big advocate of the browser and I recommend it to all my clients. The crash seems to occur when I have multiple tabs open with one of them sign-in to Gmail. When I start a youtube video upload for example the browser crashes. I tried search for possible causes but still nothing. If I find a solution I will post.
