I had been using my computer without having made any updates to windows. When I finally realized my automatic updates weren't working I had about 300 critical updates. Several things weren't working, but Firefox and the Internet at the time weren't any of them. After the updates however I haven't been able to play songs from songza.com or legacy.songza.com. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash, and uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. I have tried using Firefox in safe mode, yet the only "fix" to this problem I have found is to play songza using Chrome. Songza blames Flash, but I never had any problems until immediately after I updated Windows. Songza loads, says it's playing XXX by XXX, but then never starts playing anything, and the progress bar never begins. I can skip the song and it'll say YYY by YYY is playing, but still no sound, and no progress bar indicating that I should be hearing anything. Does anyone know what can be done? I feel like I'm wasting RAM having Chrome open just for music.

Hi uagh45, I understand that Flash is hanging even though you have updated. There was another security release for Flash today as they are addressing some major security issues this week.

I would recommend changing your Flash plugin to a click to play status. Go into about:plugins and click "Always Ask to Activate" for your flash player.
