How to stop flash from raising my CPU temperature?

How to stop flash from raising my CPU temperature? I've found that, although my laptop CPU temperature is usually 50-65C, whenever I keep running flash applications on any of my two browsers (chrome, firefox) it gradually keeps rising, to the point of about twice a day getting my screen to hang.

"Heating is caused by intensive CPU work, and if your laptop is prone to heating then Flash isn't the only problem that you will encounter in the near future. There are several solutions that are quick and almost costless.

The article Laptop cooler from wikipedia is very short but contains some interesting pointers. It makes the remark:

Studies conducted by California
Polytechnic University show that heat
build-up in notebooks is reduced by 15
to 20 percent, when a laptop is
situated at an angle compared to a
laptop in a horizontal position. Free
air cooling which is a passive method
and requires no additional power has
been proven as an effective method of
laptop cooling.

"I know that this does not solve your problem, but maybe it can help you.

There is another good add-on that I use a lot, and it is flashblock. That add-on stop all flash from loading, and instead you get a ""play""-button where the flash-thing was."
