Adobe flash constantly crashing with Firefox 37.0.2 - any ideas?
Using mac with OS X 10.8.5 and Firefox 37.0.2 and Flash seems to constantly crash (using latest version) with error message telling me it's crashed. I have uninstalled, reinstalled etc several times but still keeps happening (plugin Shockwave Flash Version:17.0.0.169).
Also Firefox freezes for a while when laptop 'wakes up' and have to wait a couple of minutes before it responds - wonder if this is also a flash problem?
Can anyone please help?

Try disabling hardware acceleration in Flash player:
- Go to this Adobe Flash Player Help page.
- Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
- Click on Settings in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
- Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.
The image "fpSettings1.PNG" does not exist.
- Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
- Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
- Restart Firefox.
Thanks for your reply. This week both Firefox and Flash have updated themselves and seems to be better re crashing/error messages.
However Firefox continues to freeze on waking if laptop sleeps - no idea what to do about this. No error messages, just have to wait a few minutes before it responds again. Doesn't happen on Safari - but all my 'stuff' is on Firefox so would like to be able to solve it.
Many thanks if anyone has any ideas!
