Firefox crashes
When playing flash games on pogo.com in the middle of a game i get this blue lined page which says "your PC ran into a problem and must restart Firefox is having trouble with your window and tabs caused by recently opened web page" then shuts down the computer and restarted, i have uninstalled firefox and adobe flash and put them back and it still happens

Severe crashes like that usually result from incompatibility with a device driver, particularly a display driver, the software associated with your system's graphics card or chipset.
Could you try this article: Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL.
Is Pogo using Flash or Java? If it's Flash, you can disable the Flash plugin from using hardware acceleration as a workaround. Right-click the Flash media in the player and choose Settings, then the first mini-tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration.

Hopefully that helps.
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- make sure you have the latest Flash version:
