I've used firefox as my default browser for years... And for years it has had issues with flashplayer crashing and reloading the page. However on windows 10 (x64) it no longer gives me the message that flashplayer has crashed nor does it reload the page. It just completely locks up firefox, which yes is a bit annoying, unfortunately since the latest update for windows 10 (a flashplayer update for internet explorer - which I never used) this freezing has gotten so much worse I cannot even load any pages that have any videos or anything that has anything to do with flash player - within seconds my browser just locks up. It was doing this before the update but it was pretty much spaced out maybe every couple of hours sometimes every 30 minutes or so if I had multiple tabs open. But that is no longer the case. One tab open and I freeze instantly, I have tried reinstalling flashplayer but it's made no difference, sadly I cannot do a system restore for some odd reason my windows 10 does not seem to create any restore points (although it is configured to). I have uninstalled and reinstalled both flashplayer and firefox and neither helped; so hopefully someone has a solution?

I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.


This is not a cure, but should let the web page load without crashing.
