Why does Flash player crash instentally with Firefox developer edition?
So I'm using the most resent of Firefox Developer Edition and Flash Player seems to crash as soon as it tries to load any flash element. I've tried everything I can, re-installations, and such to no success. The only thing I haven't done is disabling hardware acceleration, but this is due to Flash Player crashing before I can pull up the contextual menu to do so. I even disabled any extra add-on to make sure those were not the culprits.

You can toggle this pref to true on the about:config page to disable protected mode in the Shockwave Flash plugin:
- dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode = true

Thanks for the replay. Oddly, that value was already True, so I tried making it False and that fixed my issue. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction (^_^)/
