Flash Player on Firefox 22.0 makes my Macbook Air (Mid-2011, 13-inch) hot

For some reason, Flash Player makes my Macbook's temperature go up to 75 degrees Celcius when in use while on Safari (HTML5, with no flash addon) it is at 60 degrees Celcius. Is there a fix for this or should I use Safari's HTML5 player instead?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion

its a known fact that firefox uses MORE power than safari does, however what youre doing is all I myself use as well. If you want longer battery life while unplugged use safari, however i use Firefox for a reason, pluginns etc.
