Adobe's FlashPlayerPlugin 19 consistently causes FireFox to freeze. Waiting does not seem to result in an unfreeze. Have been using Windows Task Manager to stop the FlashPlayer process in order to unfreeze FireFox. This is awkward and time-consuming, and it's unlikely that Adobe will do anything to fix the problem. Thanks,

It is Adobe that makes and maintains the Flash Player 19.0 Plugin and not Mozilla.

An alternative option is to use the currently more stable Flash 18 branch by using the 18.0.0.241 ESR version from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

go to your device manager & uninstall your sound card, then restart computer & firefox will install the sound card when it uploads and it will be solved..I was skeptical, but it worked for me !
