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:

• Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems

• Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again

Hope this helps!

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

• see if there are updates for your graphics drivers

• disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

• disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Thanks for the suggestions. Did all those things - still crashed. But only once in about 15 minutes, which was pretty good based on past experience. All my drivers are up to date. I disabled protected mode. I disabled hardware acceleration. Some of the other suggestions were either too advanced for me to feel comfortable trying them, or assumed a level of knowledge I lack. Thank you all the same.

If you are puzzled about something, ask about it.

Thanks. Past experience has taught me that the inconvenience of messing up my computer (which works beautifully, except for the listed problem) is FAR greater than the inconvenience of opening IE for the sole purpose of playing a game. No doubt one day Mozilla will come up with a simple fix. In the interim, I'm good. Thank you for taking the time to reply. Best Regards,
