Why does Firefox always stop//crash every time I play a video? I have the latest version and Windows 7 is always updated.. No other browser does this..
Every time I play a video, You Tube or any video, Firefox stops and or crashes very time.... It's been doing that for a very long rime.... Chrome plays video perfectly but I'd like to go back to Firefox but won't till this issue is resolved..

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Flash videos, animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
Please tell us if this helped!
I have been keeping everything updated for many many months and still this keeps on happening.. This was the sole reason I stopped using Firefox because of crashing videos, it gets extremely frustrating... If you people can fix this problem, I'll return as well as many many others I presume... This has been going on for over a year..
Is it every video that crashes?
There are several kinds of players. Adobe Flash, HTML5 player . . . . . What websites does this happen? All, Some, A Few?
Adobe Flash mainly and that's all the time.. YouTube for the most part is ok..
Let's do a re-install of flash.
Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here:

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
Then reinstall the latest version.
Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.
Flash Player Version 27.0.0.130
