I'm on Firefox 35 now and Shockwave Flash still crashes and freezes up my Firefox. Please fix this for any future version.

I wanted this fixed for Firefox 34, but nope. It still crashes with "Shockwave Flash may be busy" and I am getting sick of hitting Ctrl+Alt+Delete to go to the task manager and ending firefox.exe. It's not the 1990's anymore. It's 2015.

You can toggle this pref to true on the about:config page to disable protected mode in the Shockwave Flash plugin:

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Try to "disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player.

Does Java Deployment Toolkit cause this?

Hi cor-el, I have tried this, and it didn't even fix. God I want this program fixed for a future Firefox version.

Hi cor-el, I have tried disabling protected mode, and it's still crashing.
