I continue to have problems with Flash player crashing in Firefox while playing Zynga games. I have the current version of Firefox, Flash Player, plugins have been reset: I have jumped through all the hoops and continue to have the problems. I realize that Zynga games run very slowly so I decided to start tweaking the timeouts in Firefox. What does it mean exactly when the accessibility.delay_plugins setting is set to false? Does this mean accessibility delay is off by default?

723 // Some accessibility tools poke at windows in the plugin process during setup
724 // which can cause hangs.  To hack around this set accessibility.delay_plugins
725 // to true, you can also try increasing accessibility.delay_plugin_time if your
726 // machine is slow and you still experience hangs.
727 // See bug 781791.
728 pref("accessibility.delay_plugins", false);
729 pref("accessibility.delay_plugin_time", 10000);
