Flash in Firefox performance is terrible compared to other browsers
I have been having this problem with Firefox for over a year now, and nothing changes. So many updates and this problem still persists. I have read several possible fixes for this issue, yet nothing works. It is strange that many users have complained about this issue and Mozilla has done nothing to fix it.
At the moment, I'm at the breaking point with this browser. Sometimes pages freeze while loading, and other browsers don't have this problem either. You mean to tell me that even Internet Explorer performs better than Firefox when it comes to watching videos online and loading pages without freezing?
I remember when I use to think the issue has a lot to do with my slow computer. After getting a better one with 8GB of RAM, the problem still shows its ugly head
You guys are joking. Either fix this long running problem, or exit the browser market.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
- Open Firefox Options window (Preferences on Mac or Linux) as follows:
- In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button and select Options for Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux.
- In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
- In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the Advanced tab, then select General.
- In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
- Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
