Firefox crashes
Every time I try to watch a video, I receive an error message saying I need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I have installed it repeatedly and the videos still wont play. On my latest attempt to watch a video after uninstalling and reinstalling it, I received an error message that Adobe crashed. I don't know what else to do to resolve the issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- check for updates for your graphics drive drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration - disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
