FACT: FLASH CONSTANTLY CRASHES IN FIREFOX

I'm sick and tired of Firefox continually pushing there pathetic excuses for their browser not working properly with flash. Take some fn responsibility for your work and fn fix this problem once and for all! Millions of people have the same problem, FLASH CRASHES CONSTANTLY in Firefox. I can't even remember which version didn't crash. Is this a new business model for Mozilla? See how many users we can piss off until no one uses our product?? FFS get your fn shitt together Mozilla, your reputation is disappearing down the crapper fast!

I just don't get it... Why wouldn't you want happy users and a product that actually works?

That would not make much sense, would it?

There can be several reasons for any failure. What we need to do is find the cause and fix it.

Flash has updated several times in the last month or so. Flash Player Version: 19.0.0.245
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html Note: Windows users should download the ‘’’active_x’’’ for “Internet Explorer,” and the ‘’’plugin’’’ for “Plugin-based browsers” (like Firefox).

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
