The thing is, a few weeks ago i bought an XFX r9 280x. The card was a PITA since day 1 because it would randomly get stuck on a random color screen and i would have to reboot the pc via the power button. I contacted XFX and they sent me a BIOS update which fixed that thing and the card has been pretty stable during these weeks.

The problem i'm facing is that sometimes when i click on a video on facebook or any site that embeded a vid i would get a random videocard crash and artifacts and i'd need to restart the pc again. Is this a common 280x thing or AMD problem with flash? is my card really faulty? Note that i can play any game at all for hours without a single artifact, crash or whatever. It just crashes when i play some sort of flash video.

What do you guys advise i do?

It is most likely the memory chip fault inside the R9 280X. Try turning off hardware acceleration in the browser and flash settings.
Other than RMA the card for a replacement or buying another card, there isn't another option.
