Adobe Flash Plugin keeps crashing

I am getting frequent page lock-ups. The page will freeze during loading for several seconds and then I get an error message saying "Unresponsive plugin. Shockwave flash may be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now, or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete." I click on "stop plugin" and re-enter the page. This will often happen multiple times when loading the same page. I tried doing a complete uninstall of Flash, following the directions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keep-flash-up-to-date-and-troubleshoot-problems. I then downloaded and re-installed Flash from the Adobe website. I also tried disabling the hardware acceleration and I tried resetting Firefox. So far nothing has worked.

Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46] 

   (Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash 
   (Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line ProtectedMode=0 and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]

Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the ProtectedMode=0 line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode
