Hi folks. Im a bit pissed of, because some minutes before was the tenth time when the fiefoz totally killed my mac. Usully the site I browse includes flash or javascript when it freezes out. But why? I am using firefox since the first version(2002) but now I started to feel that started to run out of my loyailty and tolerantion. Is there any way to solve this problem or I have to choose a new browser?

I have a macbook pro 2013, i7, 8Gig ram...

Please help me.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration to see if that helps at all:
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

  1. Go to this Adobe Flash Player Help page.
  2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
  3. Click on Settings in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
  4. Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.

    The image "fpSettings1.PNG" does not exist.
  5. Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
  6. Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
  7. Restart Firefox.

This Flash Player Help - Display Settings page has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
