This only happens with Firefox..it has annoyed me so much I started using Chrome because it doesnt have this problem.

Flash seems to keep crashing. It happens a lot on youtube and imgur.com. I notice the icon in the taskbar blinks when it crashes.

Things I have tried. Reinstalled, Flash, Firefox Disabled all extensions and add-ins. Reset Firefox Manually Removed all addins Re-initialized add-in database.

Yet Flash still continues to crash. Chrome does not have this problem, I have been using Chrome as a fix...but i hate Chrome..I want my Firefox back

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
