batch file to check if exe is running if so taskkill

Question

I'm having problems with the firefox Flashplayerplugin eating up too much ram and lagging my system when it's not in use. The only solution I found was killing the flashplayerplugin while using firefox, uninstalling, reinstalling or a fresh firefox install or new profile doesn't solve it; however, it's becoming very tedious having to check taskmanager all the time and kill it and the flashplayerplugin always seems to start on it's own.

The question I have is if it's possible to create a batch file to check if FlashPlugin_11_8_800_94.exe is running and kill it after a period of time (5-10 seconds) and continue running the batch file actively, in a loop, scanning if FlashPlugin_11_8_800_94.exe has started again, then kill it after 5 - 10 seconds, rinse and repeat?

Edit:

Found a batch file and modified it, but also seems to be missing some perimeters to actively search if it's running, even when it is not. It doesn't work either way though.

@echo off

:search
TASKLIST|FIND "FlashPlayerPlugin"
IF %ERRORLEVEL% = 0 THEN (GOTO found)
TIMEOUT /T 5
GOTO search

:found
taskkill /im FlashPlayerPlugin_11_8_800_94.exe

This batch file doesn't work either.

set tasklist=%windir%\System32\tasklist.exe
set taskkill=%windir%\System32\taskkill.exe

-------------------------------------------------------
:STOPPROC
    set wasStopped=0
    set procFound=0
    set notFound_result=ERROR:
    set procName=%1
    for /f "usebackq" %%A in (`%taskkill% /IM %procName%`) do (
      if NOT %%A==%notFound_result% (set procFound=1)
    )
    if %procFound%==0 (
      echo The process was not running.
      goto :EOF
    )
    set wasStopped=1
    set ignore_result=INFO:
:CHECKDEAD
    "%windir%\system32\timeout.exe" 3 /NOBREAK
    for /f "usebackq" %%A in (`%tasklist% /nh /fi "imagename eq %procName%"`) do (
      if not %%A==%ignore_result% (goto :CHECKDEAD)
    )
    goto :EOF

:MAIN 

call :STOPPROC FlashPlayerPlugin_11_8_800_94.exe
