RE: "We strongly recommend that
Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved."
If I cannot resolve this issue then I cannot manually re-enable protected mode.

What they mean is when Adobe resolves this issue. So far, there's nothing the user can do if the protected mode is what is causing the problems.
If you look over the dozens and dozes of posts about this, you'll see that some progress has been made. The bug causing Firefox's "silent crashes" or crashes upon close-out has been duplicated, and according to some sources, has been "resolved," but so far, no patches or formal announcements have been made.
Since there seems to be a host of problems associated with Flash Player 11.3.300.257--conflicts with Real Player; constant crashes; excessive memory/CPU usage, etc.-- I'd imagine that Adobe will try to (hopefully) fix as many as possible in the next version.
In the meantime, we'll all have to wait it out using the earlier version or the new version that we--ourselves--have had to hack to disable "protected mode." Not knowing how vulnerable Flash Player is without the Protected Mode, I'm staying away from sites with Flash Content as much as possible. Unfortunately, since most of my browsing involves business related activities, and since many, many business related sites have some Flash content, this can be a challenge.
