I play on Pogo.com and every time I accidentally right-click on a game powered by Flash, it crashes and I have to submit an error report and reload the game. The help articles all say to turn off hardware acceleration in Flash, which I can't do because I have to right-click on a Flash application to do that and when I right-click on a Flash application, Flash crashes. I have turned off hardware acceleration on Firefox by using Options>Advanced>General and unclicking the Use hardware acceleration when available box, but it still happens. I was able to right-click on a Flash application on Internet Explorer and turn off hardware acceleration, but, as stated, I cannot do that on Firefox, and unclicking it on IE did not help any with Firefox. This is extremely annoying and I have submitted dozens and dozens of crash reports to no apparent avail. Everything has been updated and is set to update automatically. What am I supposed to do?

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it and select Submit.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.
